Chris and Jen in Ohio!

Chris Stergalas and Jen Johns are the front-runners in the campaign to become President and Vice President of the College Democrats of America.

Important Announcement About College Politics.

Effective April 3rd, I will be stepping down as President of the Maryland Federation of College Democrats.

With that, I will be retiring from collegiate politics here in Maryland.

Being president of the MFCD has been great. I learned a lot, and we achieved a of a lot more than we set out to, including gaining the respect of state federations across the country. The cabinet we put together is by far the best, and most diverse we’ve ever seen. From meetings with Congress, to private discussions with community and state leaders, we’ve finally put MFCD on the map.

That said, I really have an itching to have a social life again. As Erich and Kinjal can attest, I put in 10-20 hours a week on CDA and MFCD related projects. I’ve given my all to the Federation and to making us a more professional organization this past year, and I leave knowing that Erich Reimer and the rest of the team know what they’re doing.

I will however, stay on as Chair for CDA’s Middle Eastern Caucus. This is the first time that there is a DNC-backed institution to focus on the interests of college students of Middle Eastern heritage. I look forward to putting the Middle Eastern Caucus on the map, too.

And so there you have it, I’m retiring! Expect details of a party soon!
