Ashley Silver of Rocky Mount recently served as a page for the N.C. House of Representatives.

A student at Rocky Mount High School, she is the daughter of Larry and Sylvia Silver of Rocky Mount and was sponsored by N.C. Rep. Angela Bryant, D-Nash. N.C. Speaker of the House Thom Tillis, R-Mecklenburg, appoints the pages and introduces each one to members and citizens in the House gallery at the start of each week during Monday night’s session.

The House relies on the service of pages, who help deliver bills and amendments for representatives during daily House sessions and committee meetings, offer assistance in individual representatives’ offices and run errands around the legislature. Pages spend a week at the N.C. General Assembly assisting members and their staff and learning about the structure of North Carolina government.
