MADISON, WIS. – Today, Senator Rachael Cabral-Guevara (R-Appleton) issued a statement on Lindsey Baehler’s acceptance to the 2023 Senate Scholar Program.
“I’m so proud Lindsey is representing our district in the Senate Scholar Program. I look forward to seeing what she does in and around our community,” said Senator Cabral-Guevara.
The Senate Scholar Program’s rigorous curriculum is two-fold. First the students are introduced to many facets of the legislative process. They meet with legislative support agencies, legislative staff, the Governor’s staff, a Supreme Court Justice, the media, lobbyists and University of Wisconsin-Madison faculty members. The students then put their knowledge into action. When the Senate is on the floor, Scholars staff the session under the direction of the Senate Sergeant at Arms’ office. The week’s events culminate in a Senate Scholar committee hearing on a bill that the students have drafted.
