A pair of sisters from Kewanee had the honor of acting as Illinois Statehouse Pages for a day. Traidan and Daci Hier of Kewanee traveled to Springfield this week and had the chance to help out lawmakers in the capital working as Pages this week. State Representative Dan Swanson was on hand to welcome Traidan and Daci stating ““It is great to have tomorrow’s leaders visit us in Springfield to see how our legislative process works,” Swanson said. “Traidan and Daci got to explore the Capitol, meet legislators and see the House of Representatives in action.”
Traidan is a senior at Wethersfield High School, where she is active in softball, cheerleading, golf, FFA, Key Club, student council, yearbook and National Honor Society. She does tutoring and volunteering in the community and is the two-term president of the FFA chapter at Wethersfield.
Daci is a sophomore at Augustana College where she majors in psychology and business administration. She is a member of the Augustana College cheerleading team, a member of the Augustana Republican Club, and made the school’s dean’s list last semester. She was the valedictorian of her graduating class at Wethersfield High School.
They are the daughters of Dan and Tracy Hier. The Hiers are an eight-generation Henry County farm family.
Representative Swanson was the sponsor for Traidan and Daci for their day as Capital Pages but the sisters were able meet and help numerous Representatives at the Capital while learning about state government from a front row seat.
