TO THE EDITOR:
Today students will vote in a student government special election to fill Student Congress vacancies. I am writing to encourage all undergraduate students who live off campus to cast their votes for Travis Broadhurst.
Travis has served in Congress for the past year and has been an advocate for the responsible use of student fees on the Finance Committee. He led Congress’ efforts relating to academic affairs, and his strong relationships with leaders from a multitude of student organizations and university departments uniquely position him as the best candidate on today’s ballot when it comes to the job of representing students’ interests.
After my three terms as a member of Congress, I can say that there are few members of student government who are as engaged and dedicated as Travis. He takes his responsibilities seriously, but is always approachable. He is engaged with a wide range of campus commitments and always follows through.
Outside of Congress, Travis has worked extensively within the national program of the Boy Scouts of America to bring young people to the table as decision makers and has opposed the organization’s anti-LGBT policies. As a member of the Residence Hall Association, he led efforts to bring a statewide conference to UNC and then managed logistics once our campus had been awarded the bid.
Because of his qualities as someone who can mobilize representatives to address the concerns of students, I hope you will join me in supporting Travis Broadhurst’s campaign for Student Congress.
