Haining Peng

Built for Every Aggie.

Hi Aggies! My name is Haining Peng, and I'm a fourth-year student double majoring in Political Science and Economics. I'm running for ASUCD Senate because I believe every Aggie deserves a college experience that is affordable, safe, and full of opportunities.

As students, we already have enough to worry about, whether it's keeping up with classes, paying for groceries and housing, finding a job, or getting home safely after a late-night study session. I believe our student government should focus on addressing these everyday concerns and making a real difference in students' lives.

If elected, I will focus on four priorities:

1. Making Student Life More Affordable

With the rising cost of living, many students are struggling to balance their education and basic expenses. I want to advocate for more affordable food options, greater awareness of financial assistance programs, and better access to resources that help students manage their expenses. No Aggie should have to choose between their education and basic needs.

2. Improving Campus Safety and Transportation

Whether you're leaving the library late at night or walking home after an evening class, you deserve to feel safe. I want to advocate for better lighting in poorly lit areas, more accessible late-night transportation, and stronger communication between students and campus safety services.

3. Expanding Student Employment and Career Opportunities

Finding a job or internship shouldn't feel like another full-time job. I want to help expand awareness of student employment opportunities within ASUCD and across campus, improve access to career resources, and support initiatives that connect students with meaningful professional experiences.

4. Making Student Government More Accessible and Transparent

Student government should work for students, not feel disconnected from them. I want to make it easier for Aggies to share their concerns, stay informed about ASUCD decisions, and understand how student fees are being used. I also support using technology to make campus resources and student government information easier to access.

My goal is simple: to make sure student voices are heard and that ASUCD focuses on the issues that matter most to our everyday lives.

I'm not running because I think I have all the answers. I'm running because I believe we can make UC Davis better by listening to one another and working together.

I'm Haining Peng, and I'm ready to build a better Davis for every Aggie.

Go Ags!
