Eight people comprising four tickets filed candidacy statements with the GUSA Elections Committee last Friday for the positions being vacated by President Brian Morgenstern (COL ’05) and Vice President Steve de Man (COL ’04) this spring.
The presidential candidates and their vice presidents include Adam Giblin (SFS ’06) and Eric Lashner (COL ’05), Josh Green (SFS ’06) and Lauren Butts (SFS ’06), Kelley Hampton (SFS ’05) and Luis Torres (COL ’05), and Chris Schmitter (SFS ’06) and David Hart (COL ’06).
Morgenstern has already endorsed Giblin and Lashner.
“They have the knowledge of GUSA that will help them to hit the ground running to reach their goals, but they have both been involved in the community outside of GUSA so that they have a broad, practical and realistic perspective,” Morgenstern said. Giblin currently serves as Morgenstern’s deputy chief of staff.
Campaigning will officially begin at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 3, and run until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 8. The election will be held on Feb. 9, and results will be announced that evening in Sellinger Lounge.
