After hearing the three candidates for DSG president, Mi Gente has chosen to endorse Isaac Mizrahi. While all candidates had great things to say, Mi Gente found Isaac’s style refreshing and invigorating. We felt that Ashley Jordan, while approachable, severely lacked experience and the type of “large-scale” thinking that Mi Gente would want in a DSG president. Mi Gente was very impressed with Pete Schork’s experience and accomplishments on DSG, but in the end felt that Isaac was our best option. We felt that Isaac presents a unique opportunity for substantial change in the character of the organization. We believe that Isaac’s honesty and genuine commitment to our school were his strongest qualities, and we are excited for the possibility of having such a unique personality in office. As a Hispanic student he truly understands the problems facing minority students on campus and has an optimistic view of how we can make Duke a better experience for all students. Isaac would bring a new perspective to DSG—one that is unfortunately very often overlooked.
