Hello my name is Dustin Murray and I am a First Year Student who wishes to serve as a representative and voice for the students of UC Davis. The goal of my Campaign is to understand what the students of UCD would like to see changed on the Campus as well as encourage you to understand and vote in the upcoming ASUCD elections. I am therefore running as an independent. With no party or slate affiliation. It is my sincere hope that you choose to use me as your voice in this outstanding university. Though I understand many people find this election to be merely a popularity contest, I do not seek this office to become popular, I seek it to become useful as a student representative for you. The only question I have is whether you will elect someone who is complacent or outspoken? Whether you will allow someone who seeks to be popular or someone who seeks to represent you to hold the office of Senator? Please share the changes or improvements you wish to see and I will do my best to voice them. There are six seats available on the senate, so I ask that you help me get elected to one of them. I strongly believe I can offer points of view and opinions from a freshmen's perspective, considering there are no freshmen senators on the ASUCD senate.

So you are probably wondering how I could possibly represent you? The answer is what you are doing right now. Facebook is the avenue I ask that you utilize to make your opinion and suggestions heard. Start discussions and post your opinions and feelings about UCD. They will not go unheard.

I have 6 years of student government experience.
I have held the offices of:
-ASB President
-Junior Class Vice President
-School District Committee Representative for Budget and Student Attendance Boundary Committees

I am an Eagle Scout

I was Awarded the Junior Statesmen of America's Best Speaker Award for Debate.

I was a member of the National Honor Society and California Scholarship Federation.

If you are wondering why I am in a military uniform in my profile pic, it is because I am taking several military science courses here at UCD. I am also an avid supporter of the UC Davis ROTC program and may be a future cadet.

What I would do as a senator is simple, I would push for a better policy of accountability of the ASUCD Senate to the students of UC Davis. I would utilize networking systems like facebook to seek out student opinion on how ASCUCD is spending YOUR MONEY. I want our funds to be spent in the way you, my fellow students want them to be spent.
The $10 million did not just come from nowhere, it came from your pockets! Do not let the political parties of UC Davis spend your money to fuel partisan political agendas.
Utitlize me as a voice for where you want your money going!

I would like to serve you,the students of UC Davis, but I can only do so if am given the oppourtunity, so I humbly ask for your vote. Thank You and God bless you. (read less)
