Selena La Rue  |
Selena is a junior at BU studying History and Political Science. She hails from the state of Nevada, Reno to be exact (no, it's not close to Vegas, in case you were wondering). She managed to survive a childhood in an all Republican family, where even Captain Planet was banned because it was "too liberal," and yet somehow emerged as a blue-blooded liberal. After ditching school to attend an Obama rally during her senior year, Selena soon found herself irreversibly entrenched in the political world. Her political work includes the Obama campaign, NV State Dems, and Organizing for America. Outside of the political scene Selena loves to tear up the paintball field and show off her mad quad (atv) driving skills any chance she gets. She's also a fan of pretty much any type of rock music and is currently addicted to Heroes and Glee.

Elizabeth Jones  |
Elizabeth is a junior at BU majoring in political science and print journalism; she attributes her vegetarianism and Democratic ideology to a failed upbringing in her beloved home, Jackson, Mississippi. She is a devoted fan of the Red Sox and Chelsea FC, loves Delta Blues, lo-fi music and adding Dean's List to this bio so she seems like a more worthwhile member of the BU community. Her stranger hobbies include reading Supreme Court transcripts and devising ways to terminate and replace Anna Paquin on HBO's True Blood.
