Campaign Slogan - Without unity there's no community, Vote Kymari Ottey for President.
Candidate's Bio - I am interested in being an officer because I want changes in the community, it's very important to have a good and comforting atmosphere for students and I want to do everything I can to provide that. I also bring a lot of different things to the table and I know that I will thrive in this association. I was a part of SGA in High School; I was voted in for student liaison. With that my job was to connect the groups together , for example I would bring ideas for trips and activities, they were always successful if I may add . I ran for President but unfortunately in high school the best candidate for the position doesn't always get the credit they deserve . I truly enjoy SGA all around. Voting for me will ensure that you have the best experience for the rest of your time at CSM. Vote Kymari Ottey for President!! Just remember without Unity there's no community.
