From Left to Right: Mariah Hunt, Stephanie Orozco and Brittany Rodman
Mariah Hunt, Stephanie Orosco and Brittany Rodman are coming to the conference as part of contingent of young independents from North Carolina. Mariah is a student at North Carolina AT&T, Stephanie at UNC Greensboro and Brittany, a former major in Political Science at UNC Greensboro. All three have been conducting a survey of independent students across the state (commissioned by the University and organized by Dr. Omar Ali, professor and historian who is also co-founder of North Carolina Independents and a director of Independentvoting.org.)
Stephanie (who is also the founder of a new club on campus, College Independents) had this to say: “Being able to attend the National Conference of Independents not only affords me the opportunity to visit New York City–a lifelong dream–but I’ll be able to meet with independents across the nation to exchange ideas and press the movement forward.”
And from Brittany: “I’m excited to attend the National Conference of Independents because it’s a chance to be a part of something greater than myself… A moment when I can stand with others on the foundation of a future movement.”
And here’s a picture of the new UNCG College Independents Club started by Stephanie Orosco. A contingent of members will be travelling to 
New York for the February 16 conference.
