Tally a vote that will ensure a better Senate

This Friday, the petitions for Student Senate are due, and the votes for the positions will be tallied shortly after. We wish the best for every candidate and hope they aim to do positive things in the event that they are elected. With that said, it is a fact of life that everyone’s skill set is shaped differently, and therefore, we all have jobs and positions that are better suited for us than others. To be blunt, some candidates in the upcoming races are better than others in regards to their aspired positions.

Because we are the ones who ultimately decides who wins the race, it is our responsibility to make sure the best candidates are chosen. We should all take this seriously. Too many people have been frustrated too many times by the choices made by Senate, and this is our opportunity to prevent that from happening as frequently in the future.

If you have not been frustrated with many of the approvals made by Senate, then you have probably not been paying close attention. We also have the most to lose and the most to gain in any election.  It is the students that benefit from good decisions and also suffer the consequences of bad decisions made by student government. Don’t think differently — elections like Student Senate do have an impact on our daily lives. Research any of the approvals made this past year and you can see how.

With that said, we know many of the candidates and know that many of them hold the potential to be great as Senators or office holders. We simply hope that the student body shows enough insight to elect individuals that will make good decisions on their behalf.
