Yavuz, an 8th grader, had an amazing opportunity to serve as a Senate Page for the day, stepping into the heart of democracy. He witnessed the fast-paced work of government up close and was ready to assist Senator Tucker as needed. This experience gave him a real-world view of the legislative process. We’re proud of Yavuz and excited to see the difference he’ll continue to make!
