Stephen Aaron discovered his passion for politics in 2005 while serving as a page for his State Senator, setting him on a lifelong path of public service. Raised on a family farm in Ellijay, Georgia, he founded his high school’s Teenage Republican Chapter in 2008 and later chaired both the College Republicans and Student Government Association at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. After earning an A.S. in Political Science and a B.S. in Economic Development, Stephen managed the 2014 primary campaign for Georgia’s Speaker of the House. In 2015, he was elected Chairman of the Gilmer County Republican Party and appointed Communications Director for the 9th Congressional District Republican Party.
From 2018 to 2020, Stephen honed his field operations expertise at Vanguard Field Strategies—serving as Political Director for Georgia’s 7th Congressional District primary in spring 2020 and then on the fall campaign staff for Salt Lake County Mayor Trent Staggs—and went on to serve as Regional Field Director for northeastern Georgia with the Georgia Republican Party from 2021–2022. In his volunteer time outside LI, he served as First Vice Chairman of the 9th Congressional District Republican Party from 2023–2025 and was elected Chairman in 2025.
Since January 2025, Stephen has served LI as a Training Specialist in Parliamentary Procedure, traveling the country to teach leaders how to govern their organizations and become more effective candidates, activists, and elected officials. He authored the “Crash Course in Robert’s Rules of Order” guide and developed introductory courses in parliamentary procedure, dedicated presiding officer training, Mason’s Manual, and Jefferson’s Manual. He competed in FFA parliamentary procedure contests from 6th through 12th grade and has relied on Robert’s Rules of Order for 24 years. As a member of both the National Association of Parliamentarians and the American Institute of Parliamentarians, Stephen continues to equip conservatives with the organizational and procedural skills essential for effective public policy engagement.
