Below, please find the candidate profile(s) of the candidate(s) for Division 8 Rep where they answered the question:
"Why are you interested in this Gotham Leadership position and what do you wish to accomplish if elected?":
Alex Evanciew
Current D-Rep and long running captain in 8!
How do you promote community through the sport of volleyball and embody the spirit of Gotham’s Mission?
If you know you know!! I love D8 and will continue to do everything I can to make this the best division :)
Please describe any prior volunteer and/or leadership experience, either in Gotham or any other organization.

As your future D8 Rep, I make three promises:
FREEZE THE OPEN PLAY RENT.
Make Gotham’s EOS shuttle buses FAST & FREE.
Universal GymBar & DBL socials FOR ALL. 🥂
A Campaign for Affordability. Accessibility. Social infrastructure. A campaign for ALL.
TERM LIMITS: True leadership means knowing when to share power. Let’s end the Mitch McConnell energy when the next generation’s ready to serve. As a five-time captain, am I part of the problem? All Too Well. Patient Zero? The contact tracing says otherwise.
LIVE DEBATES: Join me on Twitch, OF ($6.99/mo), & my alt account to discuss D8’s dinner-table issues: Why are you running a 5-1? Who approved those Jerseys? What was she thinking picking her? Will you pledge, right now, to commit to DBL after the game?
D8 deserves answers, and a choice. No election, however petite or gay, should go uncontested. It takes two teams to play.
How do you promote community through the sport of volleyball and embody the spirit of Gotham’s Mission?
Community means bringing D8 together. So naturally, I’m proposing a D8 reality show: The Real Hot Girls & Gays of Gotham. 📺
Beyond the confessionals, Gotham means making sure everyone has a seat at the Gym Bar table.
RANKED-CHOICE VOTING: Think RPDR’s Rate-A-Queen for gay volleyball. First choice. Second choice. Shantay, you stay. On November 3rd, make @NickAnthonyy_ your #1, and my former roommate and best friend, Brad Lander to my Zohran, Matt Wotus, your #2.
Please describe any prior volunteer and/or leadership experience, either in Gotham or any other organization.
I’m the only D8 captain and Tournaments & Open Play leader in Gotham Herstory to win ten gold and silver medals over 5 consecutive seasons…putting money back into my player’s pockets. I’m also the only Democratic Socialist in this gay Gotham race who built an empire-sized grassroots coalition successful enough to get voted first…alternate. ✨
Does first-alt newcomer make me the Zohran in this race? ALL TOO WELL.
And furthermore, the name’s @NICKANTHONYY_. A-N-T- H-O-N-Y: Learn how to say it, because I’m going to be your next D8 Rep.
To my friends & fellow players: I know what it means to lead, show up, and care about what happens to this division. Now I’m asking to bring that commitment to the D8 Rep role. You know the depth of my commitment & love for this league and the people in it.
To newcomers finding Gotham for the first time: there’s a team, a court, a community, and a seat at the table waiting for you here.
And one last thing, FRFR: Stop the killings. Let aid in NOW. END THE GENOCIDE. FREE PALESTINE. 🇵🇸🍉
I’m @NickAnthonyy_, and I approve this message.
