Elizabeth Johnson served recently as a page in the Washington State Senate in Olympia.
Johnson was sponsored by Sen. Keiser, D-Kent. “It is good to see someone as creative as Miss Johnson taking part in the process of government,” Keiser said. “Someone with her willingness to learn I’m sure gets the full benefit of the page program.”
Johnson heard about the program on a visit to Olympia when she visited Keiser. At the time, the Senator explained the importance of pages and the benefits of serving as one. Johnson took the advice to heart, and said the highlight of her experience this week was the mock bill hearings in page school, where the students get to learn about the process first hand.
Johnson is a homeschooler from Kent, plays the cello and enjoys writing handwritten letters to her friends.
