FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STATEHOUSE (March 4, 2026) – State Sen. R. Michael Young (R-Indianapolis) welcomed Indianapolis resident Jala Culpepper to the Statehouse to serve as a Senate page.
Culpepper, who attends Saint Francis and Clare of Assisi Catholic School, spent a day at the Statehouse touring the historic building, observing debates from the Senate floor and meeting Young.
"I greatly value the chance to speak with students like Jala in the Senate Page Program," Young said. "We hope to make a positive impact on our pages' experience here at the Statehouse and give them something they'll go back home and tell all their friends about."
Students in grades six through 12 participate in the page program on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays during the legislative session.
The 2026 Senate Page program has now ended. Parents interested in learning more about the program should visit www.IndianaSenateRepublicans.com/Page-Program. Applications for the 2027 program will be available at the end of 2026.
