SGA City Council Endorsement

The SGA is pleased to announce the endorsement of District 3 College Park candidate Matthew Popkin for City Council.

A graduate student in public policy and former UMD undergrad himself, Matthew’s vision will be to focus on making College Park more than just a “livable community.” For example, why don’t we have a grocery store within walking distance? How can we make the surrounding area around the campus safer for everyone? These kinds of issues, while pertinent to students, fall outside the scope of the University’s reach. It’s up to the City Council to enact changes in the surrounding College Park community, and that’s why Matthew is running.

How can you help make a difference in the College Park Community?
