So yeah, I'm going to run for president of the Student Government Association here at Rose. I'm attempting to find a less than blatant way of saying that I should be elected because all of the previous SGA heads were inept and that I am not. Currently, when asked "What made you decide to run for the position you are seeking (president)?" I answer:

The ineptitude of current and past SGA administrations encouraged me to attempt to bring competent leadership to the body.

Of course, this is a strong statement. I want the statement to be strong so that it adequately reflects how I feel about the issue. However, I fear that this statement may just be strong enough to discourage some of the population. Any help on softening the statement while still retaining the sentiment would be useful.
