Sen. Mike Carpenter, D-Houlton, visits with Alexandra Reed of Monticello at his Augusta office. Reed recently served as an honorary page at the Statehouse as part of the University of Maine Cooperative Extension 4-H Program. “It is great to have young people from Aroostook County visiting the state house,” said Carpenter.
“Civic engagement is essential for the next generation of Mainers.” Honorary pages help deliver messages, distribute documents within the Senate chamber, interact with the senators and, most importantly, take part in a real-world, interactive legislative learning experience. For more information or to schedule a visit, contact Sen. Carpenter by phone at (207) 287-1515 or by email at Mike.Carpenter@legislature.maine.gov.
