Alex-Cragun

There’s dedication, and then there are diehards: Alex Cragun received his degree in Political Science in 2011 after writing for the Daily Utah Chronicle, which has led him to being the Vice President of the Young Democrats of Utah, a Spring Fellow for the Obama Campaign and a manager for the Seegmiller for Congress Campaign in 2012. Cragun practices the type of work ethic SLUG loves, and we were quick to snatch him up in October of 2011 as a copy editor. … read more
