Endorsements
“When it comes to representing the ACR, I can’t think of anyone better than Ansh. We started talking to each other in early January and I quickly picked up on his perceptiveness and dedication. Through our texts, I realized something: Ansh is unequivocally one of the best Chapter Presidents I have ever known. Be it keeping constant communication or promoting activism with JSAers in both his chapter and around the state of JSA, Ansh is the model Statesmen. As the Deputy Director of CIA, I can attest to just how vital communication is, and I know that Ansh will be as communicative with me as with every other JSAer in the ACR.
Let’s talk about the main reason why I endorse Ansh for ACR Mayor: his platform. One of the main platform points Ansh presents is communication, and I love Ansh’s commitment to this. I cannot stress this enough, but a JSAer you can reach out and talk to is a JSAer you can depend on, and that’s exactly what Ansh is. Checking in on chapter progress is crucial to the success of JSA, and that statement holds true for the ACR. Chapter Cons are another big thing. As the only region/ county to not have a chapter con, the ACR is currently missing an integral part of regional activism. Chapter conventions allow JSA to expand to new areas as well as an alternative to a state convention for people who can't attend, and I know Ansh will be giving it his all to have chapter cons happen in the ACR.
If I could have a mayor next year to represent my region, I would gladly choose Ansh, and I hope that you choose him as well.

"It has been a pleasure to work with Ansh over the past year. As president to our BASIS chapter, he has proved his commitment by not only hosting interactive meetings but also listening to his members. He has mobilized our small chapter into a community enthusiastic about fighting apathy. I’ve worked closely with him on projects such as fundraising for a local organization against teenage dating violence and our school’s student-led Multicultural Fair. Through and through, he has proved a qualified and capable leader. From debates on corporal punishment to activism challenging domestic abuse, Ansh has devoted his energies to creating an inclusive chapter environment.
​
As an Activism Agent, Ansh has also proven his strong work ethic. Despite joining the activism department just this year, he has, within such a short period, demonstrated his diligence and hard work. He has established his commitment and drive to JSA activism by contributing unique ideas, working in a timely matter, and, ultimately, being a strong leader.
Based on Ansh’s sheer will, determination, and commitment to Texas JSA, I have no doubt that Ansh is the best candidate to be the ACR’s next Mayor.

"Many candidates run for a cabinet position to secure a line for their resume, but this isn’t the case for Ansh. As shown by the work Ansh has done for his chapter and activism department, it is obvious that he genuinely cares for JSA, and wants to take the organization and the ACR region in a new direction.
Furthermore, his platform points provide solutions to important issues that have been overlooked for far too long. I urge you all to read his platform and see the change Ansh will create as ACR mayor. Vote Ansh Jakatimath for ACR mayor!

"As a candidate, Ansh is putting a focus on something that has been missing in the ACR for a long time, communication. The lack of inter-chapter communication has been severely lacking, and I believe that Ansh would fix this problem with the plans outlined in his platform. His plan to have two members per chapter in group communications rather than one would ensure that nothing slips through the cracks.
Another thing that I’m so excited about in his platform is his focus on chapter con. I think that chapter con is an amazing opportunity for new JSAers to dip their toe into the convention atmosphere, and with Ansh’s hard work, I know that this chapter con will be an amazing ACR community event. A vote for Ansh is a vote for improved communication and a revitalized chapter convention.
