Meet The Candidates
Election day is swiftly approaching, with this Friday, August 4th, remaining the planned date. We––the CBA Press––have compiled a list of all students that will be on the ballot this Friday, listed in random order by grade level to avoid bias. There will not be an election for 12th grade representatives. Last years 11th grade councilmen, Abby Dovey and Jaimin Rasmussen, will represent the 12th grade. All candidates were given the same constraints for their statements. Pictures and statements will be added once they are collected.

Candidate Statements:
JOHN D. COBB - 11th Grade
"I’m John D. Cobb, and I’m running to represent the Juniors on the Student Council. I’m a hard worker with a talent for getting things done and that makes me a great fit for the Student Council. I am a senior leader in Boy Scout Troop 46, so I have experience working with a large and diverse group of people. I’ve attended, and taught at, local Boy Scout leadership training camps, and I’ve attended a national level leadership training experience. I’m a servant leader with experience in turning goals into reality. I’m also an active member of CBA’s student community, serving as co captain of the Speech & Debate team. As the principal author of the Student Council Constitution, I understand how CBA’s student government works, and I want to make it work for YOU. I have had to straddle two different grades while at CBA. This has given me the unique experience of being able to see ahead knowledge I promise I will use to make everyone's experience at CBA better. Thanks so much for reading this and, hopefully, for your vote! Join baby animals everywhere, and vote for me."
TATE GREENE - 9th Grade
"My name is Tate Greene, and I’m running for a 9th grade Student Council seat. I believe that we need passionate servant leadership in our student council, and I love to work and serve. I have experience in service to others above self from my time in Boy Scouts, and the Order of the Arrow. I think we as students need more freedoms and more privileges. Like Wednesday food trucks from Clayton Homes, hats on casual fridays, and an easier system for students to get what they deserve. I also believe in seeing a task through to the end, so if you want a student who will work with you and for you until the very end, then vote for me. And always remember what my hero Mr. Rogers said "Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us all the best opportunity for growing into the healthiest of people."
AJ CAMACHO - 10th Grade
"I’m A.J. Camacho, and I’m running for Sophomore Representative to Represent you on the Student Council. Why should you vote for me? First, I have experience. I served on the Council last year, am a founding member and first President of the Middle School Student Council and was 6th grade Vice President and Student Council President at my old school. Second, I get stuff done. Last year, I got more passed than any other representative, bringing you such things as the Ping-Pong Tournament and the Student Council Constitution. Most recently, I brought you the Morning Song. This year, I hope to bring you a Napoleon Dynamite showing, a bonfire, and an improved winter formal. Third, I want to bring a voice to YOU. I have a personal policy to present to the Council any requests I receive from any High School student."
CHASE PELLETIER - 10th Grade
"I once met someone who was almost as great as me, it turns out I was looking in the mirror. I can’t really make any promises because as the old saying goes, promises are made to be broken. In truth I have no idea what i'm doing so I'll just have to wing it and vote for whatever i guess. Together we can do something about things, and remember “you can’t spell team without I’m better than you!”"
