SA Senator Announces Candidacy for SA President

By Myles Goldman

Let the SA election season begin.  Student Association Senator Michael Morgan launched his candidacy for SA President Monday with the launch of his campaign website:  www.morganforpresident.com

Morgan, a sophomore in the Elliot School of International Affairs, is the first candidate to announce a run for SA President to succeed current President Ashwin Narla, who will be graduating in May.

Morgan serves as an SA Senator on the Finance Committee and is also the chair of The Student Dining Board, on the Executive Board of the College Republicans, a member of the International Affairs Society, and a brother in Beta Theta Pi fraternity.

Morgan says his candidacy will be about student space, student security, and University sustainability among other issues.

"We are at a crucial point in time here at GW," Morgan told WRGW News.   "If I did not think I had the leadership experience, if I didn’t think I had the proven results working with the University, if I didn’t think I had the ideas or the know-how to make positive changes for the university with regards to these matters, I wouldn’t do it, because that would be an SA presidency wasted."

Candidates for any Student Association office, Marvin Center Governing Board, Programming Board, or Class Council will be required to register their candidacy with the Joint Elections Committee (JEC), which oversees the election process.  Candidates will have to turn in between February 13th-15th a petition with student signatures approving their candidacy.

The date of the election will be Wednesday March 20th and Thursday March 21st.
