About a year ago, I was running for Student Body Vice President and I had two themes to my campaign and they ring true with my campaign for President today:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Let’s have a conversation<\/strong>-What did I mean by let’s have a conversation? \u00a0My goal was to be transparent and that is exactly what I was. \u00a0I worked to create a new Student Government Association website with more content than our previous one and re-developed the previous one into a blog. \u00a0Together, these added more information than ever before available online about what we do. \u00a0Our blog has been used to make sure that every week legislation is available as well as for press releases and the Student Organization budgets. \u00a0This year, for the first time ever, SGA had a town hall meeting in the semester opposite of our traditional state of the student body. \u00a0If elected President I would like to make a fall town hall a tradition of the Student Government Association so the student body knows what we as their\u00a0representatives\u00a0are doing. \u00a0Comment on here if you have more ideas on how we can become more transparent.<\/li>\n
  2. Let’s get stuff done-<\/strong>I had to censor this one the first time, because originally I had a different word instead of stuff. \u00a0I work tirelessly for the students I represent. \u00a0If there is a meeting where the student body needs to be represented, either I will be there or I will make sure a student is there. \u00a0Students should be involved in all decisions made at the College, I mean the place is here for us to learn right? \u00a0I will not stop working for you, the students until the job is done. \u00a0It is fairly typical for me to get home from the office after 9 PM after a full schedule of classes. \u00a0If you’ve ever heard me complain about this, I have a secret (well, not so much a secret as a statement to tell you): I LOVE what I do. \u00a0I love waking up in the morning not knowing what I will get to do for the students I work for. \u00a0One day I could be answering emails to students, while another I could be working on the SGA website, presiding over senate, meeting with one of the various committees I serve on. \u00a0I nothing more than answering that text message from a student who wants to know how to start a student organization, apply for contingency, or even become a senator in SGA.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This might seem like some long drawn out blog, but in reality what I am trying to tell you is about my character. \u00a0I will tell you the truth about things, but I expect the same of those around me. \u00a0I expect details, plans, and strategy. \u00a0Thank you so much for reading my blog and following me on my campaign path. \u00a0Remember voting starts on Wednesday March 30th at 8 AM on MyCharleston and will go until Thursday March 31st at 5 PM with preliminary results coming out at 7 PM Thursday.<\/p>\n
