Sen. Deery welcomes local students to Statehouse

STATEHOUSE (April. 21, 2025) – State Sen. Spencer Deery (R-West Lafayette) welcomed the following local students to the Statehouse who served as Senate pages in March and April.

  • Kaylynn Comar, from Rosedale, attends Riverton Parke High School
  • Lane Devlin, from West Lafayette, attends Lafayette Central Catholic High School
  • Elijah Thompson, from Marshall, attends Parke Heritage Middle School

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

"The Senate Page Program has become one of the most rewarding parts of my role as state senator," Deery said. "This experience provides the space for our future leaders to grow their knowledge of the legislative process at a young age, motivating young pages to get involved in their government."

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

The 2025 Senate Page program has now ended. Parents interested in signing up their child for the 2026 program should visit www.IndianaSenateRepublicans.com/Page-Program at the end of 2025 for more information. More information about the Senate Page Program is also available on this site.
