What all do I need to do to become a Georgia State representative?

Question

I'm 16, but I'm thinking about becoming a state representative when I turn 21. What are all the qualifications for it? What all do I need to do or know?

Answer 1

Here's some information at the Georgia State website's FAQ - -

"WHEN IS THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY IN SESSION?

Annual sessions begin on the 2nd Monday in January and run for 40 Legislative days. Sessions normally end in mid to late March, depending upon the number of recess days.

WHAT IS THE PAGE PROGRAM?

The Page program is a chance for students to get a first hand experience of their state government. As a page, you will work for one legislative day. Every page must be twelve years old or older.

The hours vary depending on when you page. Most legislative days run from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. A Page is paid $10.00 for their days service.

Pages are responsible for their own transportation to and from the Capitol. All pages must report to the Page Desk by 9:00 a.m.

The Page Desk is located directly in front of each chamber (House or Senate) on the third floor. An orientation session is held at 9:30 in room 341 for all pages. Here you will have explained the layout of the Capitol, where legislative offices are located, and provide a general overview of what you will be doing. It is recommended that every page be neatly dressed in comfortable shoes and clothing.

A certificate of service will be presented to each page at the end of the day. This certificate will serve as an excuse from school."
