New MSU College Democrats officers

On May 3rd, the MSU College Democrats elected their new officers for the upcoming 2006-2007 school year. They are young but talented and formidable, and I expect great things out of them. With that said, the new MSU College Democrats officers are:

• President = W.C. McClendon= wcm48@msstate.edu
• Vice-President = Harry Nelson = jhn31@msstate.edu
• Treasurer = open so someone join up and run
• Secretary = Alderman Richard Corey = rjc6@ra.msstate.edu
• Activities Coordinator = Mason Hester = mch98@msstate.edu
• Inter-Organizational Liaison = Patrick Young = pay9@msstate.edu
• President Emeritus = Matthew Holmes (me) = holmes.matthew.r@gmail.com

Feel free to contact our officers for more information on how to get involved with the MSU College Democrats. Look for booths during summer orientation and for more information about upcoming summer planning meetings.

Also, the Democratic Primary for the mid-term election will be June 6th. The U.S. Senate candidates are State Rep. Erik Fleming, Mr. James O'Keefe, and Mr. Bill Bowlin. The U.S. House candidates for District 1 in Mississippi are Robert Shapiro and J. Ken Hurt. The U.S. House Candidates for District 2 in Mississippi are Congressman Bennie Thompson and Mr. Mike Espy. Congressman Gene Taylor is running for re-election in the 4th Congressional District. Sadly, there is no Democratic candidate to face 3rd District republican Congressman Chip Pickering.

As always, Vote Donkey and get involved.

Matthew Holmes, President Emeritus, MSU College Democrats
