Briefly explain your platform.
Students First: Not really based on any ideology. Wants to ensure bus routes stay open.
What qualities and experience qualify you to be an ASUO senator?
University debate team. Learned how to evaluate competing opinions and claims.
What are your thoughts on the purpose and size of the student incidental fee?
A case-by-case question. Would like to keep it as low as possible. Spend it on things students are glad to have.
What should the ACFC do to deal with substantial increases in the Lane Transit District contract?
The ACFC is going to have to come up with a lot of money. It needs to be a priority expenditure. It won’t be difficult.
Should OSPIRG return to campus, and if so, what form should it take?
It would be nice if it could return in a program form, not as a contract. The odds are slim.
