Governor Maison D. Gamble was born in Santa Monica, California. Living in the South Bay, Maison has always had a strong passion for serving their community in a variety of ways. Through the many school clubs and committees such as Students for Sustainability, Pride Club, and National Honors Society, they understand that empathy, as well as hard work and dedication is needed to help develop our ever changing world. Through these opportunities, they have learned to build valuable relationships and connections. These connections have allowed them not only serve the local Southern California area, but also communities outside of the state. 

Over the summer of 2022, the Governor had the opportunity to take part in the Close Up for Deliberative Democracy, led by Stanford University, in Washington, D.C.  There, they put together a critical public policy proposal. They came together with fellow students from around the United States who also had a passion for making progressive change towards enacting policies regarding gun control. By the end of the week, they were able to present this policy directly to legislators on Capitol Hill. 

From this experience, the Governor knows that they will be able to become more open minded when it comes to decision making and will be able to use what they have learned to find compromise on policies that may be polarizing. Political activism has always been a great passion of Governor Gamble. When you're living in a world where hope seems lost, change needs to occur. Though the student voice may be small, they plan to be the beacon that is needed to allow students to feel safe in a trying world.
