Last year I entered senate with a goal to help my fellow students be heard. In my time as a
Senator I have made sure that anyone with a question or problem toward their school had it addressed. I addressed students on bills or topics before placing a vote on whether or not to see it passed. If elected Senator I will see to it that the students have a strong voice supporting them on campus and at the state level. It’s our school, so let’s make it better together.
