On his qualifications for the position
“What qualifies me is the education I’m getting here. Just as of last Friday, I’m a philosophy major and a political science minor so my education would kind of help me as an accessibilities representative to do my job better. The previous experience that I have is as a representative-at-large for the board and also as VP social in the past for the SUS. In the present, I’m the president for the Cascade Journalism Society and I recently became the VP social of the political science students association so I do have some knowledge of non-profit organizations that I wouldn’t mind sharing with the SUS again.”

Concluding remarks
“The one thing I can promise is a more open SUS. I’d just like to say good luck to most of the candidates here. And even if I don’t win I think that even though it’s a steep learning curve with SUS, I’m pretty sure these guys will be able to do their job admirably.”
