I would suggest spending a little more time around the DSU if you have only heard of Gavin’s name.

It’s a really fun place!

I think this is going to be a very interesting year for the elections, upon first glance at the candidates list President is definitely going to be the interesting race to see this year.

VpAE – Richard should take this hands down unless Aaron has a few surprises up his sleeve.

VpI – upon first glance I would assume that it will be close between Becky and Alyssa, although both of them being very involved into the DSU they could split a lot of the vote, which would make for a surprise upset.

VpSL – My opinion is that this is going to be a very very close 3-way race, although Alex may seem like the overall favorite I think that there is going to be 3 very different strategies and plans for this position and this will probably be the closest race we’ve seen since the Mark – Craig race 3 years ago!

“there isn’t anyone on the list more qualified for the position than Becky Richter.”
“Nobody is more ideal for the position than her.”

Come on now. Unrestrained partisan bias in the comments is one thing, but this reads like a form reference letter that high school teachers send for students they don’t like very much. C+ at best.

Now *this* is partisan hackery at its finest. Original, a dash of humour, a little jab at one candidate, the implication that the other is as awesome as Craig Kennedy.

if Becky is an integral part of the DSU then Alyssa must be Craig Kennedy in disguise

No comment whatsoever on the actual merits of the candidates, but so far Alyssa supporters 1, Becky supporters -1.

I recommend Classical>Melancholy>Dark>moderately relaxed to strike a somber tone with potential voters.

Alexa :
…Becky Richter is already an integral part of the current workings of the DSU…

Really? Did I miss when that happened?

Being on 1 (maybe 2?) committees vs. chairing ERC, being DASSS VP, Board of Sustainability office, Charity Ball, AND DSU Councillor? She may have her merits, but if Becky is an integral part of the DSU then Alyssa must be Craig Kennedy in disguise…

Good luck to all candidates though! Have a blast

@T No, Kings students can’t vote for the DSU.

Can they???

Jamie is a great guy, but do we really want him as prez? Sarah has the right skill set for the job.

Alyssa is really the only one on that list with any sort of experience for the job.

And Richard has this in the bag. Not even a contest. He has the experience to do the job, and I feel comfortable with him being my voice to the govt and admin.

VPSL race is going to be interesting. Three highly qualified people- Gavin, Alex, and Kyle- it’s anyone’s race.

Curtis is great for BOG.

Don’t know any of the Senate candidates.

It does appear some are dropping out, but if they drop out pre-campaign then it’s for the best. DSU elections are never for the faint of heart, and from my experience the more people running for a position the uglier it gets.

Side note: Woohoo for Curtis Johnson, running unopposed.

We’re hearing a second VP SL candidate is out, as well.

This is looking like a very exciting campaign, let the mudslinging begin.

*Gets popcorn*
