Representative Jason Julian |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Jason Julian is a junior at Bay City Central High School. Jason served in the House of Representatives, and took a special test on Parliamentary Procedure. His test score was extremely high, earning him the priviledge to run for Speaker of the House. Although he did not win his campaign, he came in 3rd place and did actually get to preside as Speaker when the other two Speaker's bills were brought before the floor. Here he is in all his glory bringing down the gavel to call for order in the House. |
