 STATEHOUSE (March 31, 2022) – Perry Heights Middle School student Thomas “Ozzy” Jankowski recently joined State Rep. Wendy McNamara (R-Evansville) at the Statehouse where he served as a page.

According to McNamara, Jankowski toured offices of all branches of government in the Statehouse, helped staff with daily responsibilities and joined her on the House floor to witness the legislative process. The page program operates during the legislative session, which wrapped up on March 9.

“It is always a pleasure to see students like Ozzy get involved in state government at such a young age,” McNamara said. “Meeting elected officials, touring the Statehouse and watching debates among legislators is a great learning opportunity and encourages civic-mindedness among our future leaders.”

McNamara said students between the ages of 13 and 18 should consider participating during the 2023 session.
