Ireland’s campaign slogan is “I’m for You.” Ireland said he is looking forward to what the campaign will bring.

“We’re experiencing a transition in USD presidents; it’s a huge time in USD’s history,” Sorbe said. “Madison and I are really looking to carry on the legacy of USD and start our new traditions Coyote strong.”
