Elections Administration Committee

Nandana Jaideep

PLATFORM STATEMENT

Hello UW, my name is Nandana Jaideep and I’m running to be your next ASUW President! I’m a
first-generation student studying Economics and Data Science with Interdisciplinary Honors. I
love concerts and discovering new farmer’s markets, and I’m on UW’s premiere Bollywood
Fusion dance team UW Kahaani. My passion for leadership and policy work stems from my
immigrant background and from working on my first campaign when I was fourteen.
I’m eager to leverage my years of experience within ASUW to be a President focused on results,
particularly:

  • Increasing access to financial aid and scholarships by lobbying for increased state
    funding for higher education.
  • Expanding healthcare access, from resources for survivors of sexual assault to mental
    health services. I will invest ASUW funds into initiatives such as free care packages, STI
    checks, menstrual products, Plan-B, Narcare etc.
  • Increasing ASUW’s internal and external partnerships, along with increased
    funding for RSOs to grow your events. We will support student performers, tech
    innovations, and initiatives on campus to amplify student talent.
  • Progressing current work on capacity constrained majors, grad-school readiness,
    campus safety and overall engagement with student government.
    Let’s harness our collective strength and make our husky experience truly unbound.
