Why are you running for EVP?

I’m running for EVP because I know what’s wrong in the SA and I know how to fix it. While progress on some specific issues has been made, many parts of student life are being overlooked. We need an EVP with both the knowledge of the SA needed to make changes and the independent thinking to be able to leave aside typical SA shenanigans.

What is the number one most pressing issue that the EVP should deal with?

Certainly, anyone with any experience  working between student orgs and the SA knows that it can be a pain. We ask our student orgs to do so much; they provide the campus spirit we rely on, they bring the interesting speakers and political features to campus that makes this such a special campus. Improving their efficiency in doing that improves all aspects of campus life. We need to, once and for all, implement and advertise an online co-sponsorship and cut down drastically on the turnaround time between when an event occurs and when org leaders are reimbursed.

In the past year, who do you think has been the most effective member of the SA (besides yourself) Why?

Michael Komo, without a doubt. A strong and effective advocate, and an example of what just one student can accomplish.

If you couldn’t vote for yourself who would you vote for?

I wouldn’t be running if I didn’t think I was the best candidate, but Rob Maxim is probably the second best.

What will you be doing next year if you don’t win your election?

The same thing I do every day, Pinky. Trying to take over the world. I’m sure I’ll be involved in some way. I’ve been living, breathing, writing all things GW for a couple years now. Can’t just quit that cold turkey.

Who will you be voting for SA President? Lifton or Sanchez?

Lifton.

 Any additional things you would like to say to say about yourself?

I’d encourage you to check out www.loganforevp.com for a more detailed look into my platform. Throughout my time in the SA and working on campus, I’ve always endeavored to be clear and straightforward. We have some real problems here at GW, but it’s nothing that can’t be solved by direct and genuine leadership.
