I am running for Michigan State University (MSU) Board of Trustees as a Democrat. I spent the last 20 years working with Democrats; I currently work for Senate Democratic Floor Leader Buzz Thomas (D-Detroit), was the Communications Director at the Michigan Democratic Party, and worked on the 2008 Obama campaign and both Clinton Gore presidential campaigns in Michigan.

In 2008 I ran for MSU Trustee and stepped aside to endorse Diann Woodard, the eventual nominee who won election in 2008! Ms. Woodard is supporting my candidacy this year, along with over 25 other current and former Democratic elected officials.

I graduated from MSU in 1992 and I am lifetime member of the MSU Alumni Association. I am also on the Advisory Board of the MSU Arabic Language Program. I assisted numerous Democratic candidates for MSU Trustee, including George Perles, Phil Thompson, and Dorothy Gonzales.

In 2009 I volunteered my time for the American Federation of Teachers (AFT)-Michigan organizing drive at MSU. They successfully organized non-tenure track professors and I am proud of my efforts to help workers at MSU receive better salaries, benefits, and working conditions.

I spent 2009 meeting with union Democratic Party leaders to ask for their support for my candidacy. By April 1 I will have spoken at 10 Democratic Party meetings throughout the state and hope to earn the Michigan Democratic Party endorsement at the August state convention.

Thank you for checking out my website and I hope I can earn your trust and support.
