Why are you running for this position? I am running for vice president because as a freshman this year, I’ve been exposed to all types of things and people here at Rider, so I am running to add a new point of view to the think-tank that is the Rider governing student body. I am eager to be a part of something greater than me to help get my fellow men and women here at Rider have a more enjoyable time.
Why should students vote for you? Students should vote for me because I am not in this race to add something else to my résumé or have another thing to brag about. As cliché as this sounds, I really do care.
