The Duke College Republicans are happy to announce our endorsement of Matt Davis for the undergraduate Young Trustee position. Davis’ background as a biomedical engineering major in the Pratt School of Engineering, along with his undergraduate research experiences, will provide the Board of Trustees with a fresh perspective that distinguishes him from both the other candidates and the current Young Trustees on the Board. Davis’ experience in financial leadership through his work on the Board of Directors of the Duke Student Publishing Company positions him well to advocate for intelligent fiscal policies. In his words, “A penny saved is a penny saved forever,” and it is with this lens that Duke University should approach its financial decisions to ensure we manage our endowment responsibly. Additionally, the Duke College Republicans appreciate Davis’ bottom-up approach to addressing campus culture issues. He understands it is student leaders who are in the best position to resolve student issues. Overall, Davis’ leadership and diverse and informed experiences make him the ideal candidate for the Young Trustee position.
