3 What is a normal day like for a legislator? A typical day for a legislator during session consists of meetings with constituents, session and committee hearings. Each legislator is assigned to a committee, or multiple committees, to study proposed legislation. During the committee meetings, they hear public testimony from citizens, experts and members of government agencies. Session can be very time-consuming. There are days when legislators are in session for more than 12 hours, listening to debates on bills and casting their votes. Legislators cast their votes during session in the House Chamber. Many school groups come to the Statehouse in Indianapolis to learn about Indiana history, and representatives often meet with students to help them learn about the General Assembly. Also, just because session doesn t last 365 days a year, doesn t mean they stop working for you. As a matter-of-fact, when legislators are back home, they spend a lot of time attending meetings and community events. In order to best represent their communities, it is important that legislators meet with constituents constantly to learn what is most important to them. 3
4 Can I be a state legislator? Not yet, but definitely in a few years! There are certain requirements you must meet in order to become a state legislator. To be a state legislator, you must: Be a citizen of the United States Have lived in Indiana for two years Have lived in your district for at least one year Be at least 21 years old to run for the Indiana House Be at least 25 years old to run for Indiana Senate 4
5 What do Indiana legislators do for a living? Indiana has what is called a parttime citizen legislature. Indiana lawmakers live, work and raise their families in the district they represent. The state legislature is in session three to four months a year, which allows lawmakers to spend a great deal of their time at home in the community they represent. Here are some of the past and present jobs of Indiana State Representatives and Senators: Attorney Pharmacist Auctioneer Business Owner Dentist Pastor Engineer Teacher Doctor As a former teacher, Rep. Wendy McNamara brings her passion for education to the House of Representatives. Florist Professor Farmer Consultant Realtor Insurance Agent Firefighter Accountant Pilot 5
6 Indiana Branches of Government Executive Branch The Executive Branch administers the state government and enforces state laws. This branch consists of seven Constitutional offices elected by the citizens of Indiana. These offices are: governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, state treasurer, state auditor, attorney general and superintendent of public instruction. This branch also consists of over 70 state agencies, as well as boards and commissions that report to the governor, who serves as Indiana s chief executive, and lieutenant governor. Governor Eric Holcomb Judicial Branch The Judicial Branch consists of the Supreme Court, the Appellate Court and Indiana Trial Court. It is the job of the Judicial Branch to uphold the laws of our state and our nation. Legislative Branch The Legislative Branch is the voice of the people and writes the laws that we must follow. The legislature is called the Indiana General Assembly and has two chambers, the House of Representatives and the Senate. Chief Justice Loretta H. Rush Inside the Indiana Statehouse 6
7 The General Assembly House of Representatives In the Indiana House of Representatives, the Speaker of the House presides over the members while they are in session. The House consists of 100 members, twice as many members as the Senate. Each representative represents approximately 65,000 Hoosiers and is elected to two-year terms. House Speaker Brian Bosma Senate In the Indiana Senate, the lieutenant governor presides over the members and may cast tie-breaking votes. The Senate President Pro Tempore is the second-highest ranking member of the Senate and the highest-ranking senator. The Senate consists of 50 members, half as many as the House. Each senator represents approximately 130,000 Hoosiers and is elected to four-year terms. Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch Senate President Pro Tempore David Long 7
8 Indiana House Page Program Through the Indiana House Page Program, students in grades 6-12 have the opportunity to come to the Statehouse and participate in a full day of legislative activity. This is an approved absence from school. House pages have the opportunity to: tour Indiana s historical Statehouse, including House and Senate chambers, the Supreme Court and the governor s office; observe the legislative session directly from the floor of the House and listen to debates on important policy issues; and meet and assist representatives with legislative tasks. Applications to page in the upcoming session, which begins in January, can be submitted in December. Visit to apply. Be sure to sign up early, because page positions fill quickly. You need the following information when applying: Name Address Age School Name of parent/guardian Emergency contact address Name of representative Date requested Second choice of date requested Name of local newspaper Any special requirements Rep. Sharon Negele shows a student page around the Statehouse. 8
