Hey ORV!
My name is Soham Gunturu and I am running to be your next Governor!
Why run?
First and foremost, I want to be governor because of all of you, the delegates. I want to enhance the political experience provided through JSA so that each and every individual can truly indulge in JSA’s spirit. Secondly, I am running for governor to give back to this amazing organization. From the time I joined as a freshman to now announcing my candidacy, I have learned so much about debate, civil discourse, moderating, activism, and so much more. And now, it’s time to pass it on to the next generation of young leaders! Lastly, the position of governor enables me to be more involved in JSA, offering a new and diverse perspective that can truly enhance the conventions, engage the delegates, and empower the organization.
I am so excited for the opportunity to lead such an amazing group of people! Learn more about me, my platform, and what I stand for through this website!
Our Pillars
1
Engage
My platform aims to engage delegates and create an interactive political experience both within and outside of conventions. I plan to achieve this through more chapter-cabinet connection, established through the CIA and Expansion departments. Furthermore, we can engage delegates with the introduction of new convention blocks, new debate styles, and chapter takeovers (in platform). Check out my platform for more details on how I plan to engage the ORV!
2
Empower
My platform aims to empower delegates by giving them the opportunity to get involved beyond their chapter. This starts with the Activism department, and includes initiatives such as online activism challenges, an activism calendar, and other points. Furthermore, we can empower delegates through upgraded outreach opportunities, creative fundraising events, and more inter-chapter collaboration.

Enhance
My platform aims to enhance the civic experience that delegates so dearly hope for. JSA can be enhanced by increased efficiency of the outreach, media, and technology departments. Furthermore, more online event opportunities, more direct communication with exec, and more events outside of conventions can enhance JSA. After all, the ORV should constantly be striving for improvement to maximize the enhancement of JSA. Check out my platform for more details on how I plan to enhance the ORV!
