Olympia teen serves as
legislative page
Mar Frances Brennan, a
ninth-grader at Bellarmine Preparatory School in Tacoma served as a page
in the Washington House of Representatives Feb. 6-10. Brennan was
sponsored by Rep. Richard DeBolt, R-Chehalis. Brennan, 14, is the
daughter of Cecilia and Michael Brennan of Olympia.
As a page, Brennan enjoyed
an inside look at the Legislature during a fast-paced week in the state
capital. Her duties included delivering messages and documents to
lawmakers in their offices, committee meetings, and the House chamber
during floor sessions.
Besides legislators, pages are the only other individuals allowed on the
floor of the House chamber, giving them a unique opportunity to interact
with their state representative, lawmakers from around the state, and
the House leadership.
The work day for pages
begins at 7:45 a.m. and ends at 5:00 p.m., though pages may be asked to
work later if the House remains in session. Pages attend a daily
Legislative Page School, and also make time for their regular homework.
