Presidential Candidates


candidate
John Paul "J.P." Primeau - Open People's Party (O.P.P.)

Hey Gauchos!

My name is John Paul Primeau and I am ready to be your next A.S. President. I'm a third year double major in Business Economics/Pharmacology and I live and breathe A.S.. Serving in Associated Students for the past three years, including TWO terms as a Representative-at-Large has given me unparalleled knowledge of its structure, functions and capacity to create change that betters the lives of students.

On A.S. Finance board, I have worked to fund hundreds of student groups, from club sports to outreach projects while keeping the board accountable to the legal code. As the Associated Students Committees on Committees Recruitment Chair, I have brought hundreds of students into A.S.. Over the past three years I have served on, or worked with, the vast majority of the Associated Students Boards, Committees and Commissions.

This past year, I have worked tirelessly to elevate the roll of students in the University decision making process. Through my position as the Undergraduate Representative to the Faculty Legislature I have worked to create action committees that redefine the roll of students in the Academic Senate- empowering students to fight issues like parking rate increases and the increases in the minimum unit requirement. As A.S President, I will use the strong relationships I have already established with the UCSB administration to the benefit of all students.

Our university needs a dedicated, fiscally responsible president who is willing to stand up and defend student welfare. I have a passion for UCSB and want to see all the students who attend our school well served. When you vote, please consider who you think will be the strongest, most experienced leader for this campus and for all of the students. I appreciate your vote and I will work hard for you.

My name is J.P. Primeau and My Door is Always Open.

* Endorsed by the Current A.S. President, Stephanie Brower and past A.S. President Jared Goldschen

candidate
Alessandra "Soulutions For All" Baer

I would like to thank everyone for this opportunity to run for A.S. President and create positive change on and around the UCSB campus.
My platform, "Soul-You-tions for All" came from my conversations and observations with fellow UCSB students. We see a need to work with one another beyond the borders of race, class, and culture for our common concerns. So, I ask: What would you like to accomplish? I will take your ideas and put them to work. Please send me an email: alibaer@umail.ucsb.edu.

candidate
Hassan Naveed - Student Voice!

Hey UCSB! My name is Hassan Naveed and I would you love to be YOUR next AS President.

Since arriving here at UCSB, I've played active role on campus, and in our community of Isla Vista. As a current representative in the governing body of UCSB's Associated Students, I've ensured the availability of resources for ALL students, fiscal responsibility in financial committees that handle YOUR money and accountability of the administration to the needs of UCSB students. My involvement as Associate News Director of our student radio station, KCSB 91.9FM, I've worked on many issues such as student housing on and off campus, environmental issues facing our beaches, the improvement of the academic experience at UCSB and ensuring the voices of ALL students are heard. My experience as a Residential Life employee and RA provided me with individual relationships with students from different perspectives to understand the issues students face during their college experience.

As your future President, I will improve the quality of life for students at UCSB by:

Vote for experience, passion and action! Vote Hassan Naveed for President and for Student VOICE!
