The legislative leaders have determined that pages will not be used this 2021 session due to China Virus concerns. We will honor any students selected in 2021 for the 2022 session. |
Serving as a page in the Kansas Legislature for Rep. Tim Johnson
The Page program is designed for students in middle school, junior high or the first years of high school. Working as a page in the Kansas Legislature is an excellent way to learn more about the legislative process. Because of his experience as a teacher, Mr. Johnson believes the "hands on" chance to view government is a valuable learning tool.
To experience the opportunity of serving as a page, contact Mr. Johnson to submit your name as a candidate. He would prefer that students take the initiative to contact him through telephone, mail or e-mail, rather than having parents contact him.
Representatives get 10 pages for an entire legislative session. Legislative page dates are assigned to legislators on a first-come, first-serve basis during the first week of session. Available openings fill up quickly so it is advisable to get your request to your legislator as far in advance as possible.
When contacting Representative Johnson, provide brief information about honors, awards and why you are interested in serving as a page. Dates of availability will also be helpful.
