Edwards invites all high school students of the 48th District to apply who may be interested in becoming a Senate Page.

The Senate Page Program offers young men and women the opportunity to learn about and participate in the legislative process of our state, meet Senators, and take part in the daily activities of policymaking.

Pages must have prior approval from their principal and be in good academic standing to participate in the program.

The following weeks are open for page appointments:

April 27 – 30, 2020
