“I am running on the platform of equal opportunity, open communication, fairness, justice and leadership. If elected, I will instill these values as I help the Senate reevaluate funds for student organizations and help DU go Green.”

Cayla Bidwell

“Let me work for you… If approachability, improved communication throughout campus, embracing diversity and DU traditions are important to you, then vote for me as your first year senator. Let’s work together to make the world better!”

Milan Chatterjee

“My biggest goal as AUSA senator is to make sure that the ideas of our Freshman class are given a voice and are incorporated into the everyday activities of DU. As a fellow college student, I understand the steep costs of college and have an interest in providing financial relief to students regarding their high college-related cost.”

Lanse Delara

“As an elected Freshman Senator, I have planned many things but one in particular is to help bring the DU community to the Denver community. I also want to find new ways to help the incoming freshman to better acclimate themselves to both communities.”

Andrew Valle

“I have the experience and leadership necessary to be a First-Year Senator. I was elected numerous positions by my peers in high school, and I never let my class down. I will strive to listen to everyone’s input to make this school a better place. I can only do it if you vote for me.”
