Duke Democrats endorse DSG candidates

The Duke Democrats are pleased to formally endorse the following candidates for the upcoming Duke Student Government elections:

For president, we endorse junior Jordan Giordano. Giordano is tremendously experienced, and his successful tenure as DSG executive vice president has equipped him with the necessary institutional knowledge to be an effective president. In addition, he possesses valuable insights on enhancing the political culture at Duke.

For vice president of student affairs, we endorse junior Lauren Maisel. Her emphasis on collaboration is critical, and her high-impact experience in organizations such as Duke University Union is extremely invaluable. Moreover, Maisel has a uniquely realistic and well-thought-out platform, and does not resort to pandering or oversimplification.

For vice president of athletics and campus services, we endorse freshman Mike Lefevre. Lefevre possesses a convincing vision for his role as a vice president, and has already accomplished a great deal in improving dining services at Duke.

The endorsement decisions were difficult in a pool of such qualified candidates. We wish all the candidates the best of luck, and encourage all Duke students to vote on Thursday.
