Candidacy applications have been turned in, and come May 3rd and 4th, the student body of Skyline College will have their chance to pick who will hold positions in the next Fall and Spring semesters, according to Election Board members.
During the candidacy forum on April 27, candidates whose applications were approved by the Election Board had a chance to voice their reasons as to why they should be elected for the positions that they are running.
Currently, there are six people running for council holding possibly twenty-one seats, fifteen which are senatorial seats. However, most of the seats, except for commissioner of activities and commissioner of publicity, have candidates. Of the six running for office, only three were able to make it to the forum due to schedule problems.
However, many students were not present at the forum to here these candidates or the keynote speaker, Irene K. O'Connell, who is a current councilmember of the city of San Bruno.
At the moment, three students are running for president: Taylor Angel, Melchie Cabrigas, and Zachary M. Golden. Each candidate for president wants to bring change and awareness to the students, but all the candidates have their own way to bring change.
Taylor Angel has a concern for students not graduating on time. If elected, he said he would "implement programs by helping students finish on time."
Melchie Cabrigas said that students are not that informed about the student government and she said, if elected, "I want to implement some kind of informational board on what is happening on ASSC."
Zachary M. Golden mentioned how he has extensive experience in holding different forms of office. Since grade school, Golden took on positions from president to school representatives. If elected, Golden said, "I want to get more of the students involved. Right now, students are not involved, and if they do get involved, they would enjoy it [Skyline] more."
