Hey everyone! Welcome to our site! Over the next few weeks, we'll be posting daily updates including information on campaign issues and platforms. We'll also provide some personal content to help you get to know us better.
Following is a list of issues we'll be covering on our way to the upcoming election. Many of you have already been able to hear various levels of detail about our campaign through meetings with organizations or through personal conversations. This list is just a brief outline of the issues Nate and I will be discussing online over the next few weeks. We're breaking it up so you have time to digest the information in small bits rather than being overwhelmed all at once. However, if you'd like more information on any topic at any time, feel free to give us a call or shoot us an email and we'll be happy to elaborate.
You'll notice the following three major themes throughout all our work in our campaign and in our potential time as GSB executives:
- Focus on one-year steps towards long-term goals
- Development of a team-oriented atmosphere
- Maximizing potential
