Mayer: Legislative Job Shadows from 25th Senatorial District

JEFFERSON CITY – Senate Leader Robert N. Mayer, R-Dexter, was proud to introduce to his colleagues on the floor of the Missouri Senate on Feb. 23, 2011, two young constituents who served as his legislative job shadows for the day. Jade Peel from Clarkton and April Hager from Holcomb made their way from Dunklin County and traveled approximately four and a half hours to Jefferson City to observe Sen. Mayer in his day-to-day tasks as the leader of the Missouri Senate.

“I’m always honored to have young citizens from our district visit our State Capitol to learn more about the legislative process and see first-hand how bills become laws,” said Sen. Mayer. “Those individuals who shadow their state senators and representatives have the unique opportunity to get an inside look at how lawmakers work for the citizens who sent them to Jefferson City to be their voice in state government.”

Senator Mayer urges his young constituents who are interested in serving as a job shadow or working as a legislative intern to visit his Missouri Senate website (Swww.senate.mo.gov/mayer), and click on the “Apply to be an Intern” link under the “Constituent Services” tab.
