My name is Elijah Cheng, and I am excited to announce my candidacy for College Council Treasurer. As a dedicated member of our campus community, I am committed to ensuring that student funds are managed responsibly, transparently, and in a way that maximizes their impact on our student body.

My goal is to create a budgeting process that is both fair and effective while ensuring that student organizations have the resources they need to succeed.
I would be honored to serve as your treasurer and advocate for responsible financial management on behalf of our college. I appreciate your support and would love your vote! Vote for a better future, and a Warren that works for you!
