Brodie Miller served as a page for the Washington State Senate in Olympia during the week of Feb. 28. He lives on Orcas Island. Miller was sponsored by Sen. Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas Island.

“Brodie showed genuine interest in our activities while he was here,” Ranker said. “Smart and enthusiastic, I think he’ll take that interest and put it to excellent use.”

Miller heard about the page program on a school field trip to the capitol and decided last winter to apply.

“I’ve always been really interested in government and politics,” Miller said. “This was a perfect opportunity to explore it up close.”

A tenth grader at Spring Street International School, he is also on the swim team.
