A Kosciusko student recently had the opportunity to see state government up close while serving as a page for the Mississippi Senate at the Mississippi State Capitol.

Truett Berry of Kosciusko spent time at the Capitol assisting senators and staff as part of the Senate’s page program. Pages typically help run errands for lawmakers and staff while also observing the legislative process during the session.

During his visit, Truett was sponsored by Andy Berry and had the opportunity to meet with C. Delbert Hosemann Jr., who serves as Mississippi’s lieutenant governor and presides over the Senate.

Truett is the son of Kellie and Ryan Berry and attends Kosciusko High School.

Reflecting on the experience, Truett said he enjoyed getting a firsthand look at how state government operates.

“I loved being able to see something of how our state government works,” he said.

The Senate page program gives students from across Mississippi the opportunity to spend time at the Capitol during the legislative session, providing a closer look at the state’s lawmaking process
