“It is a weird position to be in, specifically since I am running unopposed. I am trying to build a trustworthy persona. I think it is going to take time because I did not necessarily fight to get to where I am.”

“The main thing that really sets me apart from the other candidate is a more tangible vision and a platform that focuses on change and creating a senate and ASB that serves the students directly.”

“What sets me apart form other candidates is my experience. I am currently the longest serving senator with lots of experience under my belt. I joined senate my freshman year and gained leadership shortly after. I have held the position of committee chair for two terms and hope to continue working for the students here at this wonderful university.”
Judicial Chair:

“William and I are both great contenders for this position, and I feel that great work will be done regardless of the winner. I feel that I have a strong sense of diversity as an individual, and that sets me apart. I have been involved in many different aspects of this university and that makes me extremely versatile for any situation that I may come across. Having experience in all of these different areas allows me to excel in multiple fields. That expertise is definitely needed for this position.”
William Fisher
Junior

Greenwood, Mississippi
“What sets me apart is experience; I have heard 30 plus hearings in the past two years – that is a lot of experience and just knowing what goes into it. I have sat through every type of hearing, from a fraternity case to sexual assault. I am fighting for the students; I like to give the student the benefit of the doubt.”
Treasurer:
Kate Aspinwall
Junior

“Even though I am running unopposed, I thought it was important to run a full campaign, so that the student body would be able to learn more about me and what I want to accomplish as treasurer before they voted for me. Before Tuesday, I plan to walk dorms, Greek houses, attend any meetings that wish to have candidates speak, speak at Union Unplugged and campaign on Tuesday just as an opposed candidate would in order to be able to speak with as many constituents as possible and share with them my platform ideas.”
