2009-2010 Candidacy Statement

Hi, my name is Hallie Mitnick. I'm a freshman government major in A&S. I got involved in Cornell Democrats early on this year and have really enjoyed being part of the group. I'd like to run for Treasurer, because I feel as though I'm very organized and good at working with money. In terms of fundraisers, I'd like to do a politically themed movie night; we could make money on refreshments and admission. I was involved in organizing the recent date auction, and I think it was a really great fundraiser, so I'd definitely continue that. In terms of past extracurriculars, in high school I was really involved with a student political organization, the Junior State of America. Through JSA, I learned how to work effectively with my peers and the administration, as well as how to fundraise and work with money. Both these skills would benefit me greatly should I become treasurer. I'm enthusiastic about all things Democrats and pledge to bring passion and dedication to the position of Treasurer.
