We’ve said it before: democracy is about participation. So, please click here or on the button below to fill out a short survey on YOUR priorities. This survey will only take a minute or two and the information you provide will help guide our decisions as we consider legislation and navigate a difficult supplemental budget year.
Do you know someone who wants to be a legislative page?
Our legislature has one of the best page programs in the country. Applications are open! Legislative pages are youth aged 14 – 16, who serve in Olympia for one week during the legislative session. They are sponsored by a legislator and learn about the lawmaking process and how government works. Their lessons include daily civics education, participation in mock committee hearings, and helping to conduct legislative business. If you know any young people who may be interested, please click here for more information.
