Candidates are now running for president and vice president of the Student Government Association after Luke Hawley and Orie Hemme have ran unopposed over the past two years.

There are three candidates running for president: DaVonte Hair, Courtney Abt and Nicholas Hutsell.

The two candidates for vice president are: Timothy Peterson, running with Hair, and Cole Fine, running with Abt.

All of the candidates presented their platforms in a debate hosted by SGA on Tuesday evening in the Elliott Student Union.

Abt is a graduate student getting her Master’s degree in Criminal Justice. She joined SGA her freshman year and has been on the University Issues committee since. Two years ago, she was nominated as the chair of the committee and is still standing as that role today.

Hutsell is a junior history major minoring in English and political science. He was a sophomore senator in SGA and was involved in the SGA committees.
