Stewart looks out for students
As a student and a lifelong inhabitant of Eugene, I have slowly come to realize the effect city politics has on our community. Unlike many students, I merely had to move across town when I chose to attend the University.
I have kept up with city politics since the age of 16, but it was not until I became a student that I realized students have no representation on the city council. I found this astonishing, since students make up such a huge part of our population.
When Maco Stewart decided to run for city council, I listened to what he had to say. Then I listened to what his opponent, David Kelly, said he would do for students. I heard a lot of the same ideas from both of them, but when I looked up Kelly’s record on student issues, I realized he has a record of voting against student interests.
The fact is that all of Kelly’s ideas to help students are ideas that Stewart first suggested. Kelly then adopted those issues to counter his opponent. In more than three years on the city council, David Kelly has done nothing for students. Why, then, should we, as students and as Eugeneans, trust Kelly to represent us?
Maco Stewart is the obvious choice for every student on this campus.
