2010-2011 Candidacy Statement

I would like to be director of Public Relations because I want to be able to actively engage my fellow Cornellians in Cornell Democrats. While at college, we have the unique opportunity to interact and discuss viewpoints with Democrats from all over the country. I think as a club we need to increase vigor and interest in political events and activities.

In high school I was president of Amnesty International, a club which required complete revitalization. Over the course of the year, we doubled regular membership and got more than half the student body to participate in various club events. Additionally, I worked as Features editor of my school paper; a role which required active engagement with the students in order to choose article topics which pertinent and interesting. In addition to those credentials, I believe I am qualified for the position because I have a strong interest in design and marketing; both of which would help in packaging and advertising Club events.

As we move towards November, I believe we will see a spike in membership participation. I believe it crucial that we capitalize on this increased interest and work on maintaining it after the election season ends. I want to work closely with the fellow Executive Board members on doing so in a unique and fresh way.
