Sen. Raatz welcomes local student to the Statehouse

STATEHOUSE (March 12, 2024) – State Sen. Jeff Raatz (R-Richmond) welcomed Sulphur Springs resident and homeschooled student Lacey Homoth to the Statehouse to serve as a Senate page in February.

Pages spend a day at the Statehouse touring the historic building, observing debates from the Senate floor and interacting with their state senator.

"It's very important for our youth to have an understanding of how their local and state government operate," Raatz said. "The Senate Page Program gives Hoosier students like Lacey a unique opportunity to learn about legislation being passed and the role lawmakers have in the legislative process."

Students in grades six through 12 participate in the page program on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays during the legislative session. Groups serve on Wednesdays.
