Let the Race Begin

Today was the start of the epic election season!  Student Association, Program Board, and Class Council will all have their elections next Wednesday and Thursday.

The Student Association elections tend to get the most media coverage because this decides who is the student representative to the Board of Trustees, President Knapp, and other administrators.  Students also elect their school representative to the SA Senate that passes legislation regarding gender-neutral housing, Library initiatives, and other student concerns.

This year I am running for Columbian College Undergraduate Senator.  It is the first time I have been a candidate in the election and I was not the only one to have the idea to run.  Right now, there are 20 students running for the 6 CCAS seats.  We will see how successful I can be by the end of next week.

We have two presidential candidates, Jason Lifton and Xochitl Sanchez.  We also have 4 students running for the position of Executive Vice President.  This student runs the senate meetings and often accompanies the President to meetings with administrators.  The students running for this position are Logan Dobson, John Binetti , Rob Maxim, and Josh Goldstein.

Here is what my poster looks like...

I will be sure to keep everyone updated on the election!
