Today,Rep.

Schiff said. “The Page Program is a tradition more than 200 years old, and I encourage all high school students in our community to apply.”
Among other things, House Pages deliver correspondence and legislative material throughout the Capitol Complex. They also work within the Democratic and Republican cloakrooms taking messages and answering phones.
