Matt Valentin Senate Liberal Arts Biography Howdy. I am Matt Valentin. I am a political science and sociology double major from Tomball, Texas, but more importantly I am the loudest and proudest member of the fightin’ Texas Aggie Class of 2016 My college experience began where many of yours had: fish camp. During the week I would evolve from a former high school student into an Aggie. This would start the ball rolling. I was encouraged to join a Freshman Leadership Organization, FLARE. My involvement on campus would exponentially increase from this point. In the spring, I ran for a seat in the 66th session of the Texas A&M Student Senate. I believed that I could make a difference by representing the student body as best as I could in the position. Through no small effort, I gained enough votes to earn a seat in the 66th Session, as well as fill a vacancy in the 65th Session. I would be tested with difficult decisions a over the next months, but I always stayed true to my constituents. The following year would see more advancement. I became the event coordinator for the Texas A&M chapter of the Young Americans for Liberty, a member of the University Disciplinary Appeals Panel, and the Caucus Leader for the Liberal Arts representatives in the Student Senate. This brings us to now, and I believe that you should send a vote my way. Platform I am running on a platform of communication and advocacy. The student senate is pointless if the students we represent are left in the dark. During my time in senate, I have to keep my constituency well informed through setting up tabling sessions for senate members, as well as going to student groups and asking what they want for the future of A&M. This process led to the creation of several bills with the purpose of benefiting both Liberal Arts majors and any A&M student in general. I would continue in these efforts.
