Isaac England, a student at Wenatchee High School, served as a legislative page for the state House of Representatives the week of April 15-19. He was sponsored by his 12th District Rep. Keith Goehner.
Every year students from around the state apply to participate in the Legislative Page Program. Students spend a week attending page school, where they learn the inner workings of state government, and assist legislators on the House floor. Students also draft legislation and present their bills in a mock committee hearing to fellow pages.
““It was great to have Isaac serve as a page in the Legislature. Isaac represented our district well and was able to learn about the legislative process, make new friends, and create lasting memories,” said Goehner. “Getting to know Isaac gives me great confidence in our youth and their abilities to govern.”
Isaac is the son of Jared and Emi England. He enjoys athletics.
Pages earn $35 per day while serving in the program. To become a page, applicants must have a legislative sponsor, be between the ages of 14 and 16, and obtain written permission from their parents and school.
