Applications open for 2019 Lieutenant Governor's Page Program

Hello Randy,

Each year during the legislative session, the Mississippi Senate offers young people the opportunity to spend a week working at the Mississippi State Capitol as a page. Members of the Senate, as well as the Lieutenant Governor, choose Senate pages.

The 2019 Legislative Session begins January 8th and continues until early April. There are a limited number of Lieutenant Governor's page positions available for the 2019 Regular Session. During the week, pages report for duty by 1 p.m. on Monday, and then 8:30 a.m. Tuesday through Friday. Their day ends between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. each day, except for Friday, when they are released between 10 a.m. and noon.

During their weeklong tenure at the Senate, pages have the opportunity to see firsthand the legislative process at work. A page's busy day includes floor duty, running errands, delivering time-sensitive paperwork and carrying constituent messages to members. Pages also take part in educational field trips to nearby venues such as the Old Capitol Museum, the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, the Manship House and the Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Museum.

Pages must have reached their 14th birthday and not yet graduated from high school. They must be outgoing, leadership oriented, academically successful and well-rounded individuals. During their page week, pages are to be properly groomed and appropriately attired. Housing, meals and transportation arrangements are the responsibility of the pages and their families.

Before being selected as a Lieutenant Governor's page, young men and women must first complete and submit an application packet for Page Appointment.

Applications will be reviewed, and successful applicants will be notified by mail of their appointment week in December 2018.

Students should personally complete their application form and their narrative with references for submission.

Students wishing to receive an application should contact Mariah Bridgforth in my office by email at mbridgforth@senate.ms.gov or phone 601-359-3200.

Please forward this email to anyone you know who may be interested in the Senate Page Program.

Thank you for your support,

Tate Reeves
