According to College Democrats President Jay Shannon, the event “exceeded my expectations. A lot of democrats came out… More people came out than we expected. We had planned for one seat a person and we had more people in the back.”
The audience listened to Alex Sink and Congresswoman Kosmas discuss their experience, plans they have if they are elected, and reminisced on some past adventures they had in the realm of politics.
Knightnews.com was able to talk to CFO Sink and asked her about her trip here and her plans to help students deal with rising tuition increases.
The audience was very excited and greeted both CFO Sink and Congresswoman Kosmas with standing ovations.
“I thought it was a good event! It really excited, inspired, and motivated local democrats and students” said Tyler Smith, a UCF student.
