WASHINGTON—U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) welcomed Eli Moyse, a junior at Fairfield Ludlowe High School, who is serving as a U.S. Senate Page for the Spring 2022 program. Eli will have the opportunity to work in the Senate chamber and assist with the day-to-day operations at the Capitol.
“Eli is a dedicated student with a passion for serving his community. From his work on the Connecticut Against Gun Violence Youth Council to starting the Connecticut Students’ Cooperative to help address COVID-19’s impact on food insecurity, he has demonstrated tremendous leadership, and I’m excited to welcome him to the Senate,” said Murphy. “Pages get the unique opportunity of seeing the policymaking process up close, and I know Eli will learn lots about public service during his time here.”
“I am incredibly honored by this opportunity to represent Fairfield and Connecticut in the United States Senate. There is nothing quite like witnessing the legislative process up close – it is fascinating, humbling, and a civics lesson like no other. Listening to the diverse perspectives that both the Senators and other Pages have of our country has provided me with a more full understanding of the multitude of voices that make up the United States, and I can’t wait to continue my work supporting such an important institution,” said Moyse.
Page responsibilities include delivery of correspondence and legislative materials within the Congressional complex, taking messages for members, preparing the Chamber for Senate sessions, and carrying bills and amendments to the desk. Pages are also required to attend classes each morning at the Page School beginning at 6:15am. The Senate Page Program is administered by the Sergeant at Arms, the Secretary of the Senate, and the party secretaries.
