Submitted by Legislative News: Washington House Democrats
Joanna Spilker, a student at Olympia High School, served as a page last week in the Washington State House of Representatives. Sponsored by State Rep. Jessica Bateman, D-Olympia, Joanna is the child of Ed and Daisy Spilker of Tumwater. Pages assume a wide variety of responsibilities, from presenting the flags to distributing amendments on the House floor. Pages support the efficient operation of the Legislature while also receiving daily civics instruction, drafting their own bills, and participating in mock committee hearings.
