Berkeley sophomore to run for Ward 1
Katie Harrison ’11 of Berkeley College announced Wednesday that she will run for the Ward 1 seat on the Board of Aldermen.
Before about 40 enthusiastic students and friends gathered in the Berkeley common room, Harrison, a member of the Undergraduate Organizing Committee and the Yale Responsible Endowment Project, said she will seek a spot on the ballot for the April 17 Ward 1 Democratic Endorsement Vote. Currently, only one other person, Mike Jones ’11 of Saybrook College, has announced he will run.
“I want to work on some of the systemic issues facing the city,” Harrison...
Yeah Katie!!!!!!!
I'm glad there will be a race! I wish this article were well-written though - it's all over the place.
This paper has clearly not been in favor of a Mike Jones candadicy. Now they have another candidate to root for. Did you guys recruit her?
Finally someone in Ward 1 willing to talk about issues that really matter. I really hope that Yale students see how important these issues are for our city, but at the very least they will be talked about. Thank you Ms. Harrison, sincerely.
