While presidential candidates Jim Brennan '96 and Kenji Sugahara '95 have small campaign teams, Jeremy Katz '95 is running his campaign with a larger base of supporters and Danielle Moore '95 and Caleb Scott '97 are working mostly alone. Mark Cicirelli '96 has been assisting Brennan with his presidential campaign since Brennan began preparations about four weeks ago. Cicirelli, who spends more than three hours a day helping Brennan, said those working on the campaign assist Brennan in organizing his ideas. "We're there to hear what he has to say and then give him our impression," Cicirelli said. Kenji Sugahara '95 said he has a group of friends helping him with his campaign. Sugahara said he began to think about his campaign over Spring break but did not begin preparations until five days before the campaign period began.
