Who is John Galt?

John Galt is a fictional character created by Ayn Rand in her novel Atlas Shrugged. John Galt represents the idea that every person is responsible for themselves and that one’s success is the result of character, hard work, intelligence,and sacrifice. There are many awards for youth based on academics and volunteer work, but few awards are given to our youth who work. We all know the myriad of values learned in good honest work. Republican Arizona Legislative District 12 created the John Galt Youth Award to identify and recognize employed youth who are modeling a positive attitude and great work ethic. Any LD12 Precinct Committeeman (PC) is free to nominate a youth ages 16-22 years. The youth may be registered with any political party. All candidates are assessed by our youth outreach team. The youth chosen will be awarded with a small gift presented at an LD12 meeting.
