External Vice President, Statewide Affairs

Celina Ayala - Open People's Party (O.P.P.)

Hey YALL!! Im Celina Ayala and I would LOVE to be YOUR next External Vice President of State Wide Affairs (EVPSA).

I'm short and simple:

second year bio-psych major (woo go med school!!) with a double minor in health and fitness and global peace and security.

some of my current involvements are: chief of staff for the EVPSA office, chair of the women of color caucus for United States Student Association, as well as the Co-Chair for the A.S. Student Commission on Racial Equality (SCORE).

I have worked on one of UCSB's largest get out to vote campaign, recruited and led large delegations to state wide, and national conferences, played a proactive roll in our community both on and off campus, lobbied our UC regents to stop fee hikes, as well and continue to fight to hold our elected officials accountable for equality, affordability, and accessibility.

I believe in spunk, laughs, bear hugs, sustainability, and my actions

I am a strong fan of food, raves, a free spirit, and sunset runs!!

Next year I want you to ALWAYS feel a warm invite from our Associated Students, because we work to represent YOU!!!

So if you see me either in the library, skateboarding by the UCEN trying to get to class on time, or marching down the arbor against police brutality, shout a helloow, or do what I would like the most, join me in this fight against injustices because WE as a people will reap the benefits.

Vote Celina!!! vote for open minds and open ideas!

Happy Voting!!

Janelle Mungo - Students With A Plan (S.W.A.P.)

What's good Gauchos? Thanks for taking the time to know a little more about me.

I'm Janelle Mungo, running for External VP of State-wide Affairs, and here's my plan:

* I have worked hard to fight the unfair tax on student fees and will continue to PROTECT student money and services.

* I stand with many diverse communities here at UCSB, and will continue to listen and fight for the needs of all students.

* Students CANNOT BE SILENCED, and I will voice concerns among administration, Regents, and government.

* I will address other issues of ACCESSIBILITY and RETENTION at UCSB like: sexual health and education; aid for AB 540 students; mental well-being and support from the government.

* I will fight for the FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT OF AN EDUCATION against those who make it harder and harder to obtain one.

* TRANSPARENCY and ACCOUNTABILITY are utmost concerns, and I will work to maintain them.

* I WANT to hear your voices and opinions guiding elected officials with your needs, wants, and concerns.

With the passion and drive to make our time at UCSB more productive and beneficial, I would love to be your EVPSA. Again, I'm Janelle and I'm a student with a plan. Check our blog for our next meeting at http://swapucsb.blogspot.com!
