#HuskiesLobby: UW Students Take On Olympia
The Office of Government Relations at the Associated Students of the University of Washington (ASUW) recently organized a lobby day in Olympia. We interviewed two leaders from the OGR to find our more about the event.
Please tell us your name(s) and current position in student government. If you’re willing, please also tell us anything else that you think is relevant about who you are: your year, major, past student government experience, etc.
Lucas Barash-David: I'm the Director of the Office of Government Relations. I'm a senior majoring in Honors English and Political Science.
Kanokbhorn (KK) Saha: I'm the Legislative Programming Coordinator for OGR. I'm a junior studying Political Science and Economics. This is my first year as an employee in student government but during my sophomore year, I've held numerous volunteer positions.
What is the ASUW OGR? What do you do? What are your current priorities?
ASUW OGR is the legislative advocacy branch of the Associated Students at the University of Washington. We represent over 40,000 students at all levels of government including Federal, State, and Municipal. We have a pretty diverse set of issues that we tackle but we always work on increasing state funding to the UW!Read more
