State Representatives Marlene Anielski (R-Walton Hills) and Mike Dovilla (R–Berea) were joined in Columbus by winners of the “Legislator for a Day” program.
“It was my pleasure to be able to invite these students down to have a chance to see how their state government works,” Rep Anielski said. “Hopefully these students have a better understanding of how a bill becomes a law.”
“It was a pleasure to welcome several young citizens and their families to the People’s House,” said Dovilla. “This innovative program provided a hands-on experience in representative democracy for our children, and I am encouraged by the continued enthusiasm and high level of participation we have seen throughout the district the past four years.”

The program gives students in grades K-6th the opportunity to see how government works on a state level and an in-depth look into the legislative process. The students participated in a mock legislative voting session in the House Chambers, took a VIP tour of the Statehouse which included the Governor’s office, and had lunch.
