“To educate students on how ASUNM can help all students and all student groups. So many people have no idea that our student government even exists. I want to be clear with everyone about what it does for all of us and how it can help each student have the best college experience”

“Bridging the gap between ASUNM and the students. Students need to know they have a voice at their university, and it is of the utmost importance that those voices are heard and taken into consideration always.”

“To create a Student Safety Patrol, a new funding process that would give more money to student groups in dire need of support rather than just student government, and to promote Lobo Pride on campus by working with the city to change all of the street signs around campus to be cherry/silver.”

“I’m passionate about making UNM a destination university. I want to see students from other states coming to UNM because they’re excited to be a Lobo. I also want to ensure that the Lottery Scholarship be maintained for the long-term.”

“When we went to meetings there were so many individuals who had never heard about ASUNM events or ever attended a Senate meeting. Our experience can help see what is broken and fix it. We would utilize (the Outreach and Appointments Committee) and agencies to continue to talk to all students and groups so there are more than just 1,600 students voting.”

“It is extremely important for ASUNM to be connected to the student body. Students should be aware that there is an organization making decisions which affect them, and they have the opportunity to have a voice and influence these decisions. I want students to always know that ASUNM is there for them.”

“Addressing the financial difficulties and disparities on campus. By building community partnerships within ABQ and our state, we can meet real needs on campus by identifying problems and creating solutions with folks in our community who can help. We need to continue to fight for a Lottery scholarship that is sustainable for generations to come and ensure that our University’s student-focused initiatives continue to thrive.”

“We need to change the culture of ASUNM to one that works for all students, not just a few. Every Lobo has a voice, and that voice should matter and have significant impact on our campus. Hand in hand with the 20,000 students on this campus, I want to build a student government that is inclusive, innovative, and brings new voices to the table.”

“Without student feedback and student representation, we cannot effectively bring solutions to the University administration about the challenges we face as a university. This campaign is about the real issues, and it’s going to take all of us to come up with solutions.”

“Ending sexual assault on campus, streamlining advisement and making UNM a destination university.”

“To ensure that students feel safe on campus and are not worried about being sexually assaulted. We also want to ensure that we can fix the advisement website and streamline advisement for students to ensure that students are receiving the best advisement possible.”

“There should be no other goal of ASUNM than to be connected to the student body. We say that we, as ASUNM, are the voice of the students, but in all reality the students should be our voice.”
