• Question 1:How would you make sure your constituents know who you are and how they can contact you?
  It's important that my constituents know that I'm always available to them. In fact, I want to make an effort to have more correspondence between the Senators and those they represent. It's my belief that to be a truly successful representative, an individual has to correspond and take advice from those who interact with the problems surrounding us everyday. In this case, those individuals are all of you. So starting now, I would like anyone who would like to share any concerns or comments as well as ask any questions to contact me via email at monell.1@osu.edu or at 937-269-6889.
• Question 2:How do you respond to accusations that joining USG senate is all about resume padding?
  This argument could actually be used on virtually every activity or organization that anyone would ever compelled to join. However, I do understand how many can misconstrue someone's intentions as being completely self-centered. For me personally, my greatest desire is to continue to make The Ohio State University the greatest university in the entire world, and being an Off-Campus Senator is a position in which I believe I can be a great advocate. Ultimately, I want others to have as good of an experience as a Buckeye as I have had and want to continue to have.
• Question 3:How would you like to see USG improve?
  It's evident that many individuals on campus do not feel any connection to this organization, which is pretty unfortunate. When you think about it, this could be a wonderful voice for us students to build upon, but we need to get the right people in office to make this possible. Let's begin by making this a transparent, fair, and all-encompassing election season and carry it on through this upcoming school year.
• Question 4: Pick a ballot initiative, state your position and explain why you hold that position.
  None
• Question 5:What is your least favorite day of the year; and why?
  I bet a lot of people would say tax day, but little do these people know that if you go to Subway they'll give you a free cookie. For your information tax day is April 15th so go ahead, get your free cookie.
