Letter to the Editor : College Democrats endorse Common Council candidate Khalid Bey

Syracuse University emphasizes the importance of students stepping off campus and becoming involved within the Syracuse community. The upcoming November election for the Syracuse Common Council’s District 4 seat, which encompasses the SU campus, presents a great opportunity for students to do so.

Our organization wants to stay involved within Syracuse beyond November. In this light, and after careful consideration of both candidates for the District 4 race, we feel the best person for the job is Khalid Bey.

We believe in Khalid Bey’s determination to bolster the downtown business area and empower the traditionally underserved neighborhoods bordering our campus. His vision for Syracuse’s District 4 is dedicated to making the city a better place to live and work in. Khalid wants to expand employment opportunities for students after graduation, and his platform also promises to fight hard for our neighbors who have lived here for years.  

The College Democrats at SU plan to step off campus and into the Syracuse community, helping Khalid move our city forward. You can lend a hand by registering to vote prior to Oct.14 and getting to the polls Nov. 8.

Amy Snider



President, College Democrats at Syracuse University
