Job duties for the pages include delivering messages and legislative material to Members of Congress, and working off the House floor during the legislative session. Pages also have the opportunity to attend school at the Library of Congress for the semester they are in Washington.
“Lianna is an accomplished young leader, and I am pleased to have her join me in Washington,” said Levin.

“Not only is Lianna intelligent but she is also punctual, responsible and enters the classroom every day ready to learn and take on new challenges.” said Mary Druminski, Social Studies Teacher at Lake Shore High School. “I have consistently been impressed with her abilities as both a student and young civic leader.”
