Dear Friends and Neighbors,
It’s a privilege to be back in Olympia serving you! With only a few days to go, the upcoming legislative session begins Monday, Jan. 14, 2019. I’d like to personally thank all the people, business leaders, service organizations and school representatives who took the time to meet with me during the past few months. I’m consistently reminded how critical your input is to the legislative process.
As we prepare to address the issues facing our communities and state, my legislative goals remain the same—protecting your property and water rights, finding solutions for our homeless population, creating more rural mental health outreach and facilities, and fixing our congested highways.
By working together, we can have a profound effect on the efficiency, accountability, and success of our state government.

House Page Program
I’d like to encourage students between the ages of 14-16 years to participate in the House Page Program. During the session, each legislator can sponsor several pages. Without a doubt, the experience of spending a week in Olympia becomes a lifetime highlight for many of them!
Pages must be between the ages of 14-16 years. In order to participate, they need to get permission from their parents and school. Pages are paid $35 a day. You can access the page application here. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact my Olympia office.
I work for you!
Your input helps me do a better job of representing your values in Olympia. If you are planning a trip to Olympia, feel free to stop by or call my office to schedule a meeting. I look forward to hearing from you!
Thank you for allowing me to serve as your state representative.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Eslick
