U.S. Representative Bob Latta has selected Van Wert High School student Caleb Markward to serve as a Congressional page this summer. Pages have been serving the House of Representatives for nearly 200 years. Working as a team, pages assist members with their legislative duties, deliver correspondence and small packages within the congressional complex, answer phones in the Member cloakrooms, and prepare the House Floor for sessions. While serving the House, pages live in Washington, D.C., at the Page Residence Hall, a few blocks away from the Capitol, and attend classes at the House Page School. Markward will serve from June 26 through August 5. Here, Melissa Short, Latta’s district representative and legislative correspondent, congratulates Markward on being selected as a Congressional page. (VWCS photo)
