The Road to Here

Hey everyone! There are just FIVE DAYS LEFT until Spring State begins, and once it begins...it'll be just about the greatest JSA experience I've ever had, win or lose.

To start off, I want to look back to this point in time one year ago--before Spring State 2010. I was running for SER Senator, alongside Andrew Leontis, Liam Nuebling, Sigal Willner and Samir Khanna. Andrew and Liam would go on to get elected, and are running for Governor and re-election as SER Senator, respectively. Sigal, like Samir and I, lost, but is running for SER Senator yet again this year. Samir became this year's Director of Thought Talks, and Xavier's lone representative on Cabinet.

Me? Well, I became the state's first-ever Sergeant-at-Arms (a more understandable title: Director of Decorum). But before I even applied for Cabinet this year--in fact, shortly after I found out I'd lost--David Crosson, one of Servite's most admired JSAers and arguably the best debater I've ever met, found me and told me, "Hey, I just want to tell you something: Congratulations."

I was confused. He continued.

No More Mini-Cons :(

Recently I found out that the Temple City Mini-Con was cancelled, and that the CIR Megacon was postponed, then brought back suddenly to be this Saturday, at Carpinteria High School, followed by a beach party.

However, this Saturday I have a family event I have to be at, and family comes first in any situation. With that being said, I will, sadly enough, not be making any more campaign appearances until Spring State, when I plan to make up for the time I feel I've lost.

It is my promise to all of you that Spring State will be the best JSA weekend of the year, and that the election for Speaker WILL be the best this state has seen in a long time.

If you're going to be at the CIR Megacon on Saturday and you support my campaign, PLEASE let me know, because I'd be very interested in having you speak for my campaign, since I obviously cannot.

Keep checking back on this blog as well as my Facebook page for further information about my campaign!
