Aaron Wade Withdraws From MSU Election

 
Aaron Wade has decided to withdraw from the 2010 MSU Elections and instead support Kieran Alkerton. His video message and letter are below:



Hey Everyone,

I have decided to withdraw my candidacy for MSU President to ensure that students get what they deserve next year. My primary goal in running for the MSU President was to change the MSU into a policy-driven organization to ensure multi-year goals and continuity from year to year.

After reviewing the other candidates, I have decided that these goals would be better addressed by withdrawing and joining forces with Kieran Alkerton who has a similar platform. I believe this is the best way to ensure that my goals are accomplished, rather than fighting to be President myself and splitting votes with Kieran.

I want to sincerely thank all of you for your continued support and friendship. I couldn't have even been this successful without all of you and I hope that you respect and understand my choice.

If you have any questions feel free to message me. Kieran has incorporated my platform into his and is working closely with me to ensure the MSU acts in the students' best interest next year.

So make it OUR turn next year, vote Kieran Alkerton.

Sincerely,

Aaron Wade

So he's gone and wasted 100% of the 25% of the paper he used to promote himself...

This is a good step. Now if the MSU Election withdraws from the MSU Election, we will be in a position where no one is wasting anyone else's time.

Perhaps you should meet Casey Park and make that decision after giving him an honest chance. He is quite personable if you don't listen to all 4 people who have non-gelling personalities with him.

Just an Update, *name removed until official statement made* has joined Kieran Alkerton's campaign team starting today as well! So Chad you can slash that out as well

According to MSU historian & President of MSU Alumni Association Mr Dave Moore this is the first time a candidate has joined another team in 30 years. YES he does have accurate records as far back as more then 30 years!

I am quite sure though TWO candidates joining a third is even more rare!

It's OUR TURN!
