Mike Donner's Slytherin President Campaign![[Image: VySCbUh.png]](https://i.imgur.com/VySCbUh.png)
Slytherins have lacked the respect they deserve for many years - it's time for that to change.
My Plans as Slytherin President:
My main focus if I were to be elected as president of Slytherin would be to gain the respect and admiration for our house that has been lackluster in these past years. I would take every measure possible in order to ensure that Slytherins are looked up to by others whilst also majorly improving the quality of the average Slytherin student's experience at Hogwarts by any means necessary. I also intend to make our house values more prevalent than ever, as they are the defining qualities of all Slytherins and should be displayed and emphasised at all times. My plans will be described in greater detail below.
Re-establishing Slytherin's Great Name:
I want to ensure that nobody has any bad thoughts or attitudes towards our house, which is why I will work to right our past wrongs in order to make Slytherin a superior house once more. Slytherin's name has been dragged through the mud wrongfully, so my first steps will be to go about doing good deeds in the name of Slytherin, whilst encouraging my fellow house members to do the same. This includes loaning needier students galleons, improving relations between the houses in order to allow them to coexist in a much more peaceful manner than before, boosting the academic performance of Slytherin students and more!

I see the relationship between houses as an essential part of every student's time at Hogwarts, which is why I intend to aid all houses where possible. I would be willing to debate further actions in order to make progress towards better relations with other house presidents in the hopes that students have a much more enjoyable experience at Hogwarts, in which they will have much wider friendship groups, including students of any and every house.
Improving Slytherin Students' Quality of Life at Hogwarts:
In the past Slytherin students have had a relatively bland experience at Hogwarts outside of class time; our dorm is rather obsolete and the lack of good lighting makes travelling back to dorms a tedious task. These are just some of the issues we face at Hogwarts as Slytherin students, however these problems will fade if I am to be made Slytherin president. I plan to improve the quality of Slytherin's dorm and the nearby corridors to make them much more accessible and welcoming, as well as hosting some extra-curricular activities in Slytherin dorms which any students will be welcome to participate in. Any students who have any ideas for improvements may share them with myself, leading to them being considered and possibly made a reality.
Displays of Slytherin's House Traits:
Slytherin's house traits have lost their value and meaning over time, which is due to nobody emphasising or correctly displaying said values. I want these traits to be displayed by all Slytherins where possible to remind others of what makes a true Slytherin. This will be accomplished in various ways, such as encouraging Slytherin participation in classes and hosting house competitions which allow for each house to shine in their own way. These traits are what we stand for, therefore it's vital for us to prove our worthiness in being labelled with said traits.
Resourcefulness - Slytherin students are expected to find the solution to any problem which may face them, regardless of how prepared they may be.
Determination - Slytherins will refuse to give up, even when it may seem that there is no longer a hope of success. They will strive for greatness, overcoming even the greatest obstacles in the process.
Pride - Slytherins are expected to keep their Slytherin clothes clean with the badge visible at all times - it's important that each Slytherin is content with the person that they are.
Cunningness - Slytherins will accomplish their goals, no matter the cost or the sacrifice along the way. Sometimes you have to play dirty to reap the best rewards.
Ambition - I expect Slytherin students to accomplish great things in the wizarding world, which is why it's important for students to strive for greatness, working to the best of their ability at all times.
Self-Preservation - Slytherins are expected to defend themselves when necessary, which will be seen to through increased preparation for such situations, such as self-defence classes which will be hosted by Slytherin's own Severus Snape.
These traits are the foundations of Slytherin house, which is why it's important for them to get the attention which they have lacked these past years; forgotten over time.
In Conclusion:
It is now more important than ever for Slytherin to prove it's worth as a house, and such a task can only be watched over by myself. I hope that I have earned the support of many Slytherins, however if you're still on the fence then feel free to come to me with any questions or concerns which you may have. Something which I will develop more as time passes is my plans for a Slytherin committee, as I think that it's important that as many voices are heard as possible when decisions are being made. I will also be elaborating further on some aspects of my campaign if others wish for more information to be given on any of my plans. I have high hopes for the coming months if I am to see great success with this campaign, so I hope that I can have trust in you voting for me.
It is time for a change my fellow students - and this is the change that you've all been waiting for.
Vote Mike Donner as Slytherin President for 2021.
