• Question 1:How would you make sure your constituents know who you are and how they can contact you?
  For my entire three years in SBS, I have never received any notification of who my Senators were and what they were doing for me. If I'm elected, that will change. Future SBS students will not be in the dark of who I am, and what I am doing. I aspire to send out weekly updates to SBS students of what I am working on, and things of that nature, and there will be the option to contact me regarding issues that my constituents may have.
• Question 2:How do you respond to accusations that joining USG senate is all about resume padding?
  I agree that some people run for Senate to pad their resume, especially Political Science majors (with the exception of P.S. students running for SBS seats). However, there are many people that want to have their views heard and represented, and that's why they run for USG Senate.
• Question 3:How would you like to see USG improve?
  I think what has plagued USG is that many view it as a popularity contest. I think that the more this continues, the less effective USG is in addressing important issues. I would like to see USG Officials held to the same regard and criticism as our Student Athletes are.
• Question 4: Pick a ballot initiative, state your position and explain why you hold that position.
  None
• Question 5:What is your least favorite day of the year; and why?
  "Black Friday" is my least favorite day of the year because it allows human beings to practically act like deranged lunatics in order to consume meaningless products. It is facilitated by some of the most evil corporations.
