OFFICIAL STATEMENT

Adam and Mark for MSA April 7th, 2013

We would like to thank everyone for encouraging us and supporting our campaign for President and Vice President of the Minnesota Student Association. Its been an honor speaking with students and listening to their ideas on how we can create a stronger University community. For students to have maximum influence on issues that affect us all, we have to work together. With that in mind, we have made the decision to drop out of the race and enthusiastically support Mick Hedberg and Dionne Griffin for President and Vice President of the Minnesota Student Association. The issues facing students here at the University of Minnesota will only be successfully addressed if we come together as one unified voice. Whether it is student tuition costs or greater access to more affordable text books, it is our job as representatives of the student body to be your tireless advocates and implement change. Were a part of a great campus community, but together, we can make it better. By building unity, advancing outreach, and expanding advocacy, we can begin to engage students on the issues that matter most to them. Join us in our support and vote Hedberg/Griffin April 8th-10th! Sincerely, Adam Motzko Mark Haakenstad
