As I talk to my classmates, many ask the same question “Was it worth it to drop everything and come here?” Let me tell you something: I believe that this school is worth it. I believe that there are so many new opportunities and connections to be made here. I believe that we can get the TAMS experience we deserve, but only if we have leadership that reflects our values. That’s why I’m running for the Student Senate: I want to fight for the best of what TAMS has to offer. As your Senator, I will fight for the restoration of transparency, equality, and democracy. My legislative agenda will focus on holding the UNT administration accountable and ensuring that every single student can have their concerns heard. On day one in the Senate, I will submit legislation that will direct the Election Board to look into adopting instant run-off voting, create a standing committee with the goal of responding to student concerns, and increase TAMS participation in the UNT Student Government Association.''<ref name=":0" /></blockquote>
