Tripp serves as page for Senator Pederson

Blackwell High School junior serves as Senate page

 
OKLAHOMA CITY – Blackwell High School junior Colton Tripp has completed a week of service as a page for Sen. Roland Pederson, R-Burlington. Tripp served at the Capitol during the seventh week of session from March 21-24.

 
Pages serve vital functions during the busy legislative session, attending Senate committee meetings and daily sessions of the full Senate. The group toured the Oklahoma History Center, the newly renovated state Capitol, and met with Gov. Kevin Stitt and Senate Pro Tempore Greg Treat. The pages also participated in a mock legislative committee meeting along with a floor session called Pageville, where they got first-hand experience presenting and debating current bills from this legislative session.

 
Tripp is currently serving as the vice president of the Blackwell FFA Chapter. He also serves on the state 4-H council as the Northeast District Representative and is a State 4-H Ambassador. Tripp runs Comfort Bags, a community service project that provides toiletries, blankets, and toys to children who are placed into foster care. After high school he plans to attend a junior college and join a livestock judging team, and then go on to attend Oklahoma State University.

 
He is the son of Braman resident, Jay and Michelle Tripp.
