Junior heading to Des Moines (x-posted in Iowa Forum)
Randy Tapia, a junior at West Liberty High School, has been chosen as a page for the Iowa Senate, an honor that hasn't been seen in West Liberty for some time.
"I'm thrilled to be chosen," he said, "It will really open my eyes to politics. Since I don't know much about the government; this will really help."
Every year high school juniors and seniors from Iowa are chosen to help at the state capital in Des Moines during its legislative period from January to April.
They assist the members of the Senate, House of Representatives and Legislative Service Agency (LSA) with day-to-day tasks. Through it, students learn firsthand how the government works.
