Amanda Galonek, who is running for the EVP position described the debate as “Nerve racking. You think you have so much to give, and you’re really fired up and you really want to make a difference and being on stage sometime you can’t formulate exactly what you want to say, and that’s frustrating because I have so much that I want to do and sometimes you don’t get it out the right way. I would have liked to have talked about my initiatives for GWireless.”
Ted Costigan, also running for EVP had this to say about the debate: “It was great, a quick debate, not too bad. In and out. I didn’t mention a few of my policies, one of my important policies is giving ROTC students a ROTC minor.”
Sam Free claimed that she and her fellow EVP candidates agree, “The [debate] went really fast. We all thought it was a great debate.”
Other candidates, such as Aria Varasteh was somewhat critical of the missing opening statements. “For the most part I thought that the debate was pretty successful, I was surprised that the opening statements did not occur, but we got to make up for it in closing speeches. I wish there would have been more one on one direct questions that I would have had more of a chance to talk about my platform, but at the end of the day.”
Zahin Hassen had this to say about his fellow candidates straying off topic: “Some of the candidates went off topic, but as a result they look better, so I could have taken advantage of that, but I’m not actually expecting to win.”
The Presidential Candidates were also quite opinionated when it came to the results of the debate.
Chris Clark, a Presidential Candidate, had this to say about the debate: “I thought it went fantastic, I was happy to answer any question that anyone may have had and I hope to answer any questions in the coming days of the coming months whether I get elected or whether I don’t get elected.”
When asked how he thought his Presidential candidate platform was received by the audience, Jason Kaplan had this to say: “I wish I had some more time, I was trying to rush with the 45 seconds that I have, I was trying to make the point that I’m the only candidate who lays out on their website how I’m going to specifically achieve each goal.”
Fellow Presidential Candidate Caleb Reymond was pleased that no political bashing took place. “I thought that the candidates represented themselves well.”
