Congressman Mike Garcia, R-Santa Clarita, announced two Saugus High students as the winners of the 2021 Congressional App Challenge for California’s 25th District on Wednesday. 

Sanjay Srikanth and Larren Wells are seniors at Saugus High School who won the 2021 Congressional App Challenge, according to officials with Garcia’s office.
“I am excited to announce that Sanjay Srikanth and Larren Wells of Saugus High School have won the 2021 Congressional App Challenge for California’s 25th District,” Garcia said. “I applaud Sanjay and Larren for thinking outside the box and creating an app that serves an important and practical purpose for our local community.”  

Wells and Srikanth’s app, “GetBackToWorkSCV,” is web-based and allows Santa Clarita jobseekers to seek help with a resume and online career profile creation at no cost, according to officials. 

Wells and Srikanth were motivated to create the “GetBackToWorkSCV” app because of the “significant” job layoffs during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The app was chosen by a panel of three independent judges from California’s 25th District, according to officials. 

Wells and Srikanth’s app is expected to be displayed on the official U.S. House of Representatives website. 

“I am proud of all the young, brilliant students from California’s 25th District that participated in this year’s competition,” Garcia said. “I also want to thank our local judges J. Bob Balaram, Cris

Pèrez and Scott Evans for their work deciding this year’s winner.”
