Student election commissioner talks campaigning limitations, regulations By Matthew Jacobs @MattJacobs3413 Aspiring candidates for positions ranging from student body president to Yell Leader are now campaigning for the upcoming elections this week. All candidates have a fixed amount of money they are allowed to spend during the campaigning season. The highly regulated campaign period includes multiple stages that dictate acceptable behavior, and will include a debate which will be held Tuesday. All candidates are responsible for financing their own campaigns, according to Rachel Keathley, election com-
missioner and business honors senior. “Candidates spend their own money on their campaigns in the student body elections,” Keathley said. “Different positions have different budget restrictions, as in the maximum amount students can spend on their campaign, including any fines they may receive in the process of campaigning. If they exceed their budget, they will be disqualified.” Keathley said for student body president, the amount not to be exceeded is $2,000. For Yell Leaders, it’s $1,800, for class president it’s $400, for student senator it’s $250, for RHA president it’s $300 and all other candidates may not exceed $150. The different stages of the campaign-
ing period have their own respective restrictions, Keathley said. “Beginning Feb. 20 we will be in the general campaigning period, which will be the majority of campaigning i.e. banner holding, flyers,” Keathley said. “Additionally, we will have the student body president debate Tuesday evening at 7 p.m. in the Flag Room. General campaigning will end on Wednesday at midnight. On Thursday and Friday — voting days — candidates will campaign under “modified campaigning,” which is limited to holding signs and wearing campaign T-shirts, Keathley said. Voting will start at 9 a.m. Thursday and will close at noon on Friday. Students can vote at vote.tamu.edu
State representatives, campus leaders urge students to participate politically By Shelby Adamson @shelbypaige13 In light of new leadership in America, local and campus political figures urge all citizens, but especially students, to get involved politically and make their voices heard through political involvement, beyond protests. David Isenhour, chairman of the Texas A&M College Republicans, said the only way democracy can work is through active involvement of all of the citizens which can be through several different ventures. If a person chooses to abandon their involvement with the system, they cannot expect to have a voice. Rep. Bill Flores (R-TX) encourages young people to get involved politically whether or not they plan to pursue a career in politics. “Because their future is the one that is being decided today, and so the earlier that they can get involved and understanding the way our government works whether it’s local, state or federal, the more possible input they’ll have to be able to impact their future,” Flores said. Flores said the issues students should be aware of today are national security, economic security and the future of the healthcare system. These issues are all being heavily discussed and debated in
Congress currently, and the decisions made on them will impact the lives of those entering the workforce in the coming years. “Today, the United States has one of the least competitive tax systems in the world and that affects the economic opportunity for our young people so, one of things we are focused on pretty heavily in Congress is tax reform,” Flores said. “Trying to build a tax system that is competitive for the 21st century that helps make sure that all Americans — in particular the young Americans — have great opportunities for economic growth.” Lucas Fernandez, Texas Aggie Democrats president, said it’s important to be aware of community issues, and joining an organization within a local community is the first step in having a platform to be heard. “I think it’s important because they are members of the community, and so it’s important to know what’s going on, to know how it affects you, and to be able to have a say in it,” Fernandez said. Isenhour said reaching out to all students, even those currently uninvolved with any part of the political process, is important for his organization. “Another way that students can get involved is help promoting issues,”
Isenhour said. “This semester we are having a very ambitious tabling campaign on campus, and that campaign is going to be covering a wide host of issues.” Flores said he’s seen a growth in involvement among students, especially in the last few months. However, Isenhour said less than 30 percent of students voted in the last election. He also said the first two elections of a new voter are critical. “There is a saying out there that one of the best indicators of how somebody is going to vote the rest of their life is how they’lll vote in the first two elections,” Isenhour said. While there are a variety of ways to promote your viewpoint on certain issues, Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) said simply protesting about issues is not a way to get results. What really makes a difference, he said, is participation in discussions on these issues. “My hope is of the 1,000 young people that protested [early February], that they’re registering, they’re voting,” O’Rourke said. “They’re showing up at Town Hall meetings. They’re pressuring office holders and that they themselves are ultimately running for office, because that’s what is going to change things.”

Aggie story
Economics junior Robert “Bobby” Brooks said his experience at Texas A&M has been unlike any other. With maroon blood running in his family, Brooks hoped to follow in his father’s and brother’s footsteps with his decision to head to Aggieland. When he was 11 years old, he shared with his mother his dream to one day become the president of A&M. “My father is Class of ‘68, so my Aggie story began when I was born,” Brooks said. “I visited A&M a few times while growing up, and it wasn’t until one time that I visited my brother who was attending A&M that I knew I couldn’t be anywhere else. I recall leaving College Station after spending a long weekend with my brother in College Station, and I told my mother so proudly that I wanted to be the President of A&M.” Brooks said he maintains the same pride for the university today that he did when he was younger, and looks forward to the rest of his life representing the Aggie spirit. “My Aggie experience has been something I wouldn’t trade for the world. The people at Texas A&M are different, and that’s been apparent to me since my first day here,” Brooks said. “Each person that I meet here holds the same high level of courtesy and respect for others, and that encourages me to give back.” While he has faced various trials that have made him stronger, Brooks said his time at the university has provided opportuni-
IKWUAGWU
ties to broaden communication with people in a way that has impacted him. “I’ve met so many challenges that have worked to build me holistically,” Brooks said. “This university has given me many good opportunities to interact with people different than me, to share with each other what we find special in our lives, and that has been transformative in my learning experience.”

Platform
The foundation of Brooks’ platform is established upon four main points: Diversity and inclusion, student services, student fees and academic excellence. “I will work to increase communication in all areas, to create a campus that values the individual experiences and abilities of each Aggie, and make sure that the students’ voice is not looked over when making hard-hitting decisions,” Brooks said. While he can empathize with the challenges many may face in college, Brooks said he aspires to speak on behalf the student body of Texas A&M. “Most importantly, I want to be the voice for each student. I understand the difficulty of the college experience, and I want to advocate for the student perspective wholeheartedly,” Brooks said. “This campus has a lot of growth in the upcoming years, and I want to help guide it for the betterment of each Aggie.” More information on Brooks’ policy can be found at bobbybrooksforsbp.com.

BRING DINING DOLLARS USE OFF-CAMPUS DESTIGMATIZE MENTAL ILLNESS SUPPORT THE ACADEMIC SUCCESS CENTER CULTIVATE AN INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT
By Tyler Snell @tyler_snell2 Photo by Alexis Will
Beginning his freshman year, business junior Ben Ikwuagwu dove headfirst in the Aggie experience. Ikwuagwu fell in love with the traditions and wanted to be able to spread this to future students, prompting him to get involved in the Aggie Orientation Leader Program. This was the first time Ikwuagwu saw up close the issues students face. “Through two years in this program, I would constantly have conversations with these leaders about things like, ‘What A&M could do to improve our bus system?’ or ‘What it would take for us to make A&M more inclusive for each and every student?’” Ikwuagwu said. “These conversations led students, like me, to actively seek change on our campus find ways to motivate and inspire others to do the same.” Helping students is what Ikwuagwu continued to strive to do when he became a Supplemental Instruction leader for microeconomics his sophomore year. “A month into the program, I was mentoring students about transitioning into college, helping them develop better study habits and facilitating discussions that helped them learn the lecture material better,” Ikwuagwu said. “In addition to this growth, I would constantly search for ways in which the SI program could be improved.” Ikwuagwu continued to stay involved his junior year, but also began to meet with administration and faculty to address the issues he saw in university practices leading to his push to become student body president. “I began to meet with lots of administrators on campus and discuss ways in which we could improve on many of our current practices at this university,” Ikwuagwu
said. “The most important thing that was learned from those meetings with administrators is that [the student body president] position will be extremely tough.”
Platform
Ikwuagwu said his platform consists of three main points: Enhance student services, support academic excellence and encourage critical dialogue on campus. “My ‘Eat Local’ initiative will take the on-campus dining experience, off-campus, through developing partnerships with local restaurants,” Ikwuagwu said. “My ‘Supporting Stronger Minds Initiative’ will focus on continued research of mental health while also decreasing the stigmatization behind these illnesses.” Through his experience with the Academic Success Center (ASC) as an SI leader, Ikwuagwu wants to make the tutoring and academic experience more successful for students. “I will fight for financial and practical support of services like the Academic Success Center,” Ikwuagwu said. “With more support of the ASC, we can save students money by reducing the dependence on third-party tutoring services.” Ikwuagwu said one of his main priorities is fostering a more inclusive environment for students at Texas A&M. “My third goal is to move our university from reacting to dramatic events to proactively cultivating an inclusive environment by encouraging critical dialogue that enables our students to learn from each other and continue the growth we’ve made as a university,” Ikwuagwu said. “Change doesn’t happen easily on our campus, but I want to put in any amount of time it takes to make a positive impact on this university.”

Aggie story
Getting involved has never been a problem for management information systems junior Kilian Bresnahan, who found his passion in student government as a freshman. Bresnahan served as vice president of the freshman class and is currently the junior class president. “I have been taught to always seek out new challenges that will help me build personal character, create friendships and positively impact the community,” Bresnahan said. “It has been said that much is expected of those to whom much has been given. This saying has become my mantra.” Bresnahan also got involved with the Conference on Student Government Associations and is in charge of inviting other schools to visit Texas A&M to discuss issues affecting student governments around the world. However, Bresnahan found his love for A&M after working with the Aggie Experience Council. “I got the unique opportunity to show incoming and prospective students what it means to be an Aggie, share our pride and show them the best place on Earth,” Bresnahan said. “I’ve learned a lot from these experiences, and I would love to translate all that I’ve learned and serve our school as student body president to make it even better.” Bresnahan strives to be like his grandfather, who moved to Mexico to create small businesses for economically disadvantaged communities. “He helped over 1,000 families become self-sufficient,” Bresnahan said. “I would love to use my past experiences, paired with my future education, to continue my grandfather’s mission.” On a trip to Brazil two years ago, Bresnahan said he was proud to represent
a university that is represented around the world. “I was proud that even down in South America, Texas A&M was recognized for its academics and long-lived traditions,” Bresnahan said. “I was so proud to be affiliated with such an esteemed university, and I look forward to doing all in my power to make it even greater.”

Bresnahan’s campaign platform consists of three parts: Support, education and transparency. His support initiative aims to create exam-free career fair weeks, 24-hour library and Rec Center hours and an SEC-wide charity project. “Career Fair weeks shouldn’t include the added stress of exams,” Bresnahan said. “Students shouldn’t have to move to a different library on campus while studying, so I plan to create an endowment fund to support 24-hour libraries and the rec.” With his education goals, Bresnahan plans to support student services, educate students on the 25 by 25 Initiative, which aims to have 25,000 students in the Engineering Department by 2025 and be an advocate for student fees. “Informing you what our university has to offer is one of my top priorities,” Bresnahan said. “We want the administration to prove that [the 25 by 25 Initiative] is an effective plan which does not devalue an A&M engineering degree.” Finally, Bresnahan plans to create transparency within the Student Government Association and the office of the student body president. “Everyone should know what is going on behind closed doors,” Bresnahan said. “We will create a committee that is dedicated to finding new and innovative ways to communicate with you.”

EXCUSED ABSENCES FOR RESPECTIVE CAREER FAIRS EXTEND DINING HALL AND REC HOURS DURING FINALS FOSTER OPEN COMMUNICATION BETWEEN STUDENTS AND CAMPUS LEADERSHIP
By Meredith McCown @meredithrhoads Photo by Alexis Will
Aggie story
Growing up thinking he would attend school outside of Texas, university studies senior Robert McIntosh had a change of heart during his last couple years of high school before the start of his college career. Because many respected people in his life attended Texas A&M, McIntosh opened his eyes toward the world of opportunity before him. “This mindset changed during the course of my junior and senior years of high school, as I began noticing a strong common denominator in the people I admired and held in high esteem,” McIntosh said. “With pretty certain frequency, they would each graduate in turn before setting their sights on College Station. It shouldn’t be too difficult to imagine what happened next and, well, that’s how I got led to Aggieland — or God’s country as we like to refer to it in my house.” McIntosh said he is grateful for the impact his friends and loved ones made and the way they have helped him appreciate the Aggie core values. “My Aggie experience has been nothing short of transformational. This university has introduced me to some of the best men and women I know,” McIntosh said. “My experience here has crafted a standard for how I ought to live my life: Relationally, making use of every opportunity I find to serve and lead as a means of impacting others.”
Platform
According to McIntosh, the platform of his campaign is a demonstration of principles that are not solely promises but plausible points with the intention of accomplishment. “Our platform is sim-
ple; this campaign is not about Robert McIntosh, but about the Aggie 0pportunity we all have in front of us,” McIntosh said. “To remind and encourage our fellow students to serve the Aggie family while in return getting to meet and know leaders and individuals from around the world and to promote a college experience that is unparalleled.” McIntosh said he plans to ensure that students gain a professional advantage by being allowed excused absences during career fairs. In addition, he hopes to guarantee that the university administration maintains the student body as its first priority in regards to the importance of food and exercise. “They have tangibly neglected this by making access to food and exercise very inconvenient during the most stressful time of the semester, and I want to fight to get dining and Rec hours extended during finals,” McIntosh said. “Changes like this will communicate where we are on the university’s list of what truly matters.” Furthermore, McIntosh said the final point on his platform is to cultivate improved communication by hosting SGA walk-in hours by which students will have the ability to voice concerns. “We will work handin-hand with administration to provide increased knowledge transfer and transparency between university leadership and the student body,” McIntosh said. “Similarly, we will work within Student Government to foster better communication and opportunities for feedback to students as a whole.” More information on McIntosh’s platform can be found at rallywithrobert.wordpress.com.
“Our platform is simple; this campaign is not about Robert McIntosh, but about the Aggie opportunity we all have in front of us.” Robert McIntosh, candidate

KEN BELDEN Agricultural Economics Favorite yell: Sit down bus driver
My purpose in running for Yell Leader is to continue along the path that I have been on and serve the 12th Man based on my love for this fine school and identification as a son of my savior Jesus Christ. I am also truly passionate about sharing Aggie traditions and values with others as well as welcoming one and all to be a part of the Aggie Family we all know and love.
In my time here at Texas A&M, I have found that the best way to give back to this University is to invest in the people, and thereby invest in the Aggie Spirit itself. My intention in campaigning for Senior Yell is to spread that unique sense of comfort back into the Aggie Community, and reinforce the love and support that makes Texas A&M such an incredible place to be.
COOPER COX Construction Science Favorite yell: Military
As a first generation Aggie, I honestly didn’t know about any of our traditions until my campus tour in high school. I quickly became immersed and only had two goals; to follow God’s plan for my life and to make the most of my time at Texas A&M. I believe I can provide leadership and wisdom to the incoming group of Yell Leaders, helping to make them the best group yet!

Serving the university as Reveille’s handler this past year has been the most amazing experience of my life, and it is my hope and dream to take the lessons I’ve learned from this time to continue to serve this university and people I come in contact with as a Junior Yell Leader.
CONNOR JOSEPH Agribusiness Favorite yell: Farmers fight It would be my distinct honor and privilege to serve the university in this capacity to extend the Aggie Spirit to those that I come in contact with. Because Aggies mean more to me than just being my fellow classmates, but this place and the people within have a place in my family.
JAKE RYAN Agribusiness Favorite yell: Locomotive From being rowdy at the football games to standing next to each other at Silver Taps or Aggie Muster, our spirit defines who we are as Aggies. If elected, my sole purpose would be to spread the spirit and create a welcoming environment to everyone I meet.
CASON STRNADEL Ag economics Favorite yell: Locomotive Ever since I was a kid, there was no doubt in my mind that Texas A&M was the University for me. I am running for Yell Leader to not only serve my university but to represent my fellow Aggies across the nation.
ZACHARY KOCUREK Kinesiology Favorite yell: Locomotive As a fifth-generation Aggie, I desire to share what it means to be a part of the Aggie family as well as continue to maintain the importance of the core values of Texas A&M.
