CAMPAIGN SPEECH
Good morning/afternoon fellow students. Before anything else, allow me to sincerely thank you for acknowledging my candidacy for senator in our beloved university.
Since freshman year, I have been an advocate for our student body. Although I have not held a position similar to what I am running for now, I have always been actively helping our student government in my humble capacity as First Year representative. Through my efforts, the freshmen have earned two seats in the school council, empowering them more by making their voices heard.
The constant complain of first year students about not having a place for them to hang out during their free time because most study areas and even libraries are dominantly occupied by older students, was finally solved when I made representations in the school board to ask for funds for the construction of at least two study sheds exclusively for the use of freshmen. The construction was done before the end of the first semester, and the facilities are now serving their purpose to the delight of our youngest students.
In the second semester, I batted for transparency by demanding the student council’s treasurer to give a quarterly financial report which was to be published in our school publication. This measure was carried out and as a result, we now have a good knowledge on how the funds derived from our school fees are being used by our student government. Towards the end of the fourth quarter, I crafted a petition, demanding better services from our food providers through the sale of nutritious food and banning unhealthy snack and drinks. The petition is still being heard and evaluated by the school administration.
If given your trust this year as senator, I pledge to finish the programs that I started last year, and pursue other endeavors that would make the lives of every student in this school better. I will continue to advocate for transparency and clean governance. I will continue to be your voice in the student council, and I shall not tire of listening to your sentiments about issues directly affecting your studies. I will find ways to make the enrollment process easier and more efficient so that students don’t have to wear themselves out for one day only to be told to come back the next day. The enrollment should not be long and tedious so students don’t have to spend more for their extended stay in the school.
My self-driven advocacy for all of us is what drives me forward. On Election Day, I ask for your support so in return, I can continue making your voices heard. My dream has always been to serve others, and this is something I have been able to do in the past. I pray that this school year will be another time for me to improve myself as a leader and another opportunity to live my dream once more. I promise not to betray the trust that you have given me in the past. I enjoin you all to vote for me and the rest of my team not only because you know many of us but because you know deep in your hearts that we can deliver the services that you truly deserve.
My record speaks for my capacity to serve. I care about your interests and your voice. I care about providing equal opportunities to every student who come to study in this university. I care about making your student life as enjoyable and as fulfilling as possible. Let us make this journey together, and let us all reach for our dreams and aspirations. Come share your ideas, and I will make them happen.
Thank you and have a great day.
