Restoration of scandalized, shuttered House Page Program eyed

The once-popular House Page Program has been shut down since 2011, but it isn’t dead thanks to a few members and page alumni who hope to revive it to give some lucky high schoolers an inside look at America’s democracy in action.

“I, for one, lament that we do not have a House Page Program any longer,” said Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz. “Generations of young people were inspired by their participation in that program to engage in public service, and I remain convinced that we could go back and try to reform that program.”
