Student Vote Leaders

Sarah Clader, 21 – This fall Sarah, a senior at Rutgers University, spearheaded efforts to register 3,000 students statewide to vote, training students to make class presentations, run dorm storms, and register their peers out on campus. Sarah also coordinated the New Jersey Public Interest Research Group’s (NJPIRG) What's Your Plan? campaign at Rutgers, taking the concerns of young people directly to the candidates. She organized students to attend a Barack Obama event in New York City to ask him: What’s Your Plan? to stop global warming and address financial security for Americans. Sarah has led efforts to register and turnout young voters with New Jersey PIRG since her freshman year and she serves on the Student PIRGs' New Voters Project Advisory Committee alongside Frank Fahrnekopf, Jr., former RNC Chair, and Vice President Walter Mondale.

Mike Reagan, 21 – In the 2006 mid-term elections, Mike led one of the largest voter registration efforts that the University of California, Davis had ever seen, registering 1,500 young people to vote. A college senior, Reagan was energized after testifying this fall before Congress regarding the threat posed by global warming to his generation. To ensure that the voice young people is heard in the California primary, Reagan will once again mobilize thousands of his fellow students to vote. In the coming weeks he will storm dorms, invade classrooms and stop students on the way to class. He has also issued a challenge to student groups on campus to see who can register the most students.
