My campaign slogan, bull-ding our relationship with Durham, reflects my aspirations as a Senator and as a Duke student. During my first year as Senator, I realized that students are incredibly insulated. When we first arrive at Duke, we receive only a limited introduction to the complex history of Durham and its relationship with Duke; we are incredibly unaware of the community outside of the Duke bubble. Understanding Durham history and the values community members uphold are crucial elements that affect how we civically engage with our community.
