SGA Runoff
Lester Aleman '07
What is the most pressing issue facing SGA right now?
Safety. We really need to focus on making sure everyone is safe on campus. Our four years here can be the best four years of our lives if we work together to make it so. Cohesion and strength within our community will help acheive this.
What's the number one reason to vote for you?
[I'm] assertive. I focus my energy on getting things done.
Say something to voters about self-governance.
I think self-governance is definitely key to making our students successful during and after Grinnell. Unfortunately, there are some misperceptions that exist which I would like to clarify through the help of Joint Board Senators, allowing them to connect with both constituents and the cabinet on an issue that is truly important to all of us.\
Chris Hall '07
What is the most pressing issue facing SGA right now?
I think that the most pressing issue for SGA is to continue trying to build a confident relationship with the student body. In order to achieve this, it requires that we put forth a great deal of effort. I understand what the students will expect from me, and I promise my utmost personal effort in achieving this task.
What's the number one reason to vote for you?
I'm confident in my abilities to lead the student body, and I'll never B.S. you when things go wrong. Discourse and honesty are the only means to making progress.
Say something to voters about self-governance.
It's my belief that self-governance isn't something that can be taught, but rather ... is felt on our campus. We need to reinforce the idea that self-governance depends on individual efforts and a cooperative frame of mind.
Alvin Irby '07
What is the most pressing issue facing SGA right now?
Students are apathetic in many ways to what goes on in SGA. I would like to see this attitude change. Students matter, their concerns matter and SGA cares!
What's the number one reason to vote for you?
Passion. I possess a passion for both the overall well-being of students and Grinnell College. This passion manifests itself in the actions I have taken over the last three years to make sure that Grinnell College is a better place because I was a student here.
Michael Billups '07
What is the most pressing issue facing the SGA right now?
Reform of the Cabinet and JudCo and continuing to improve communication with the student body.
What's the number one reason to vote for you?
I am a proven leader with the ability to ensure that our demands as students be met during this time of change in our campus community. I intend to bring transparency to the position of VP/PAA and connect with students by strengthening the Student Curriculum Committee.
