OLYMPIA, Wash. —

Rep. Chipalo Street recently welcomed Brett Devine, a ninth grader at Lewis and Clark High School in Spokane, to serve as a page in the Washington State House of Representatives. House pages help legislators by delivering messages and documents across the Capitol campus while learning about the legislative process through page school. “Brett did a fantastic job helping out during a busy week in Olympia,” Street said. “It’s always great to see students from Spokane take an interest in civic engagement and learn how our state government works.” Outside of school, Brett enjoys music, film, building models, and wood whittling. Students between the ages of 14 and 16 can participate in the House Page Program, which includes hands-on experience at the Capitol and a chance to learn more about how laws are made.
