University Student Apartments - Mayor :0

I ran for Mayor in the U of U Married Student Housing's "Resident Council Elections." It was a lot of fun and a ton of work! Megan Lee, a friend of mine, ran for Programs so we decided to do our campaign together. I was so grateful for her insight and help. These are some of our posters. 

We also passed out two handbills that each had coupons on back. We were able to get the companies to do the printing for us because their coupons on back. It also helped us show the residents that we knew how to work with people in the community, and that if we were elected we would continue to do so. It was great! 

Coupons on the back of our flyers, free donated bagels and doughnuts at our table, and we even had a raffle with prizes donated from local businesses in the area. Our goal was to use the raffle to help get the residents out to vote, plus emphasize again that we could work well with the community. What a crazy busy few weeks of campaigning! Good Memories! Both my friend and I won the election. Yay! I will be the Mayor of the village for the next year. I'm grateful it will help us with a rent reduction during that time. What a blessing! We had a ton of support from ward members and friends. We won by a major landslide.

These are some deer that were just outside my apartment on election day. After going to the polls for the first voting time, I came back to see these amazing creatures. It felt like a good omen, and helped calm me down for the big voting day that was ahead.

Here is one of our tables outside the voting poles. This was the morning at one of the lower attended voting areas. They had three areas and we tried to have them all manned with a table and representative. Our husbands were amazing to help us out with this! They helped to man each one of the three voting times. I'm so grateful for Trent and all of the help he gave during elections! Oh just a little side note, we probably gave out around 500-600 bagels. It was insane!
