  • Jeremy Cynamon (AR Mayor, Sierra Canyon)
    "[...]easy to vote for the person you like the most and easy to vote for the person who seems the nicest, but if you're actually voting for the person who will do the best job, the most qualified person and the person who has the most valuable experience in the Speaker's Department, you are voting for Aaron Burkart."
  • Stephen Rosebrook (AR Director of Debate, Temple City)
    "I have known Aaron Burkart for a comparatively short amount of time, but when I heard that he was running for Speaker of the Assembly, I knew that he would be the right person, for an extremely difficult job...Aaron consistently makes good, sound, and excellent decisions. It is with pleasure that I write this, in support of Aaron Burkart."
  • Peter Frankman (Former CIA Agent, John Burroughs graduate)
    "[...]he will improve SoCal JSA and bring it to a level previously unheard of. He will do all that is in his power to be the best Speaker of the Assembly."
  • Sheila Reddy (CIA Agent, Apple Valley)
  • Ben Verheiden (Former AR Senator, Palisades Charter graduate)
    "I believe in the power of being an informed voter now that I am 18 and voted in the primary and general elections last year. I also believe in being an informed voter in JSA as well. If you are an informed JSAer, Aaron Burkart is the most qualified and experience candidate for Speaker.
    He has been active JSA since he was a freshman a
    nd has first hand experience in the assembly itself.
    Vote for Aaron Burkart. He will deliver."
  • Andrew Leontis (SER Senator, Aliso Niguel)
    "I met Mr. Burkart my Sophomore year at the Summer Cabinet meeting, and he was for sure the nicest kid that I met that day. He was very outgoing and you could tell he had a passion for JSA. Almost 2 years later, I can say that the same things are true now...I can confidently say that Aaron will make a great Speaker. I recommend voting for Aaron Burkart, I know I will."
  • Jessica Aragon (chapter president, Riverside Polytechnic)
    "Aaron is opinionated, intelligent and dedicated, not to mention one of the most passionate people I've met in JSA. We met over the summer in UCLA, and he's one of the reasons that I became so passionate about the organization. When Aaron speaks, even if you don't necessarily agree with what he says, you can't help to listen. If anyone deserves this position, it's Aaron Burkart."
  • Samir Khanna (Director of Thought Talks, Xavier)
    "I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Aaron Burkart a year ago at Fall State Orange County. Fair to say Aaron really introduced me to how JSA was supposed to work and even helped me in the race to become SER Senator last year. I can say few people love and put more work into JSA than Aaron.
    SoCal JSA needs a Speaker who is willing to put in the time and the effort. There is no doubt that Mr. Aaron Burkart will make a fantastic Speaker and give his all to SoCal JSA."
  • Kimbria Mitchell (AR Deputy Director of Debate, Temple City)
    "I have unfortunately not known Aaron Burkart for a long time but just recently I have gotten to spend some fun times getting to know him! Anyone thats anyone knows and loves Aaron Burkart, he is positive, outgoing and really knows how to get a person smiling. If you want someone with vibrance and personality Vote for Aaron Burkart!"
  • Jessie Killackey (chapter Director of Debate, Temple City)
    "I met Aaron at Fall State 2010, and knew right away that he was dedicated to JSA...But more than that, he's a great person to be around. Aaron also surprised me with his knowledge in various political fields; If anyone has a question, Aaron can answer it. If you have any doubts about voting for him, get over it and vote for Aaron Burkart: best candidate for Speaker of the Assembly! No doubt about it."
  • Liam Nuebling (SER Senator, Servite)
    "I first met Aaron on the campaign trail last year during the election for SER Senator and one thing that was consistently on my mind was: this guy sure knows his stuff. This is what sets Aaron apart from the rest.

    Aaron has a vision for assembly that he has had since his sophomore year serving on cabinet in assembly. He not only wants,
    but knows what needs to be done, in order to get assembly out of that small meeting room, and into the real world.

    So, if you want JSA to have more of a positive influence on society and get rid of the assumption that teenagers don't know about public issues, then vote for Aaron Burkart as Speaker of the Assembly for SoCal JSA.

  • Paige Rojas (Former CIA Agent, Xavier)
    "Aaron Burkart...will most definitely be the greatest Speaker of the Assembly that JSA will ever have. The day I met Aaron I knew this kind, strong, individual would be destined for JSA greatness. Though we both barely knew each other, Aaron supported me though my own small regional election (literally he did, I was shaking in my chair ready to fall off). I was in awe at his positive attitude and his on spot decision to keep trying and striving with JSA. If his sheer willingness to never give up doesn't give you his vote, then his positive attitude should."
  • Joe Crosson (chapter president, Servite)
    "There is much more to Aaron than meets the eye. What needs to be understood about Aaron is the fact that he has something that not many other candidates can say about themselves: true passion for JSA. Ever since I met Aaron freshmen year, the one thing that struck me was the fact that he had this infatuation with JSA that had no comparison. This is the kind of person that JSA needs. Not only is Aaron easily qualified for the position for Speaker of the Assembly, but he is too impassioned to simply let this opportunity slip past him. As Speaker, he would make the changes necessary to bring life back to the Assembly as a more active part of JSA than it is today.

    Vote Burkart for SoCal Speaker of the Assembly."
