Sam Elick graduated in May with a Public Relations degree from The University of Texas at Austin. Currently, he is enrolled in the Acton School of Business in Austin. He is originally from the booming metropolis of Bellville, Texas (pop. 4794). In the past, Sam started a small contracting business and worked for Texas Monthly Magazine. With a keen interest in sports and politics, Sam eventually plans to pursue a political career, which in Texas is a considered a contact sport. For now, though, he doesn’t claim a party affiliation. He believes that one should vote for candidates based on their views, not what party they represent. Generally it’s a good thing when Republicans and Democrats both control a branch of government. Yet, he believes, there are times when the country needs a unified government to address the specific problems and issues of the day.
