On the campaign trail for student body president, candidates will face off in a debate Monday evening.
The three candidates will answer questions asked by moderator Matt Josefy, former A&M student body president and Class of 2004, that have been submitted via Twitter and on an anonymous online form, said Emma Douglas, election commissioner and business sophomore. Candidates will also answer questions from one another.
Douglas said Josefy’s experience is an asset to the debate.
“Mr. Josefy has significant experience with SGA and has moderated debates in the past,” Douglas said. “We are confident that the debate is in good hands with Mr. Josefy.”
Hannah Wimberly, SGA public relations vice president, said the debates are a great way for the candidates to get in touch with the voting body and to clarify their platforms.
“The debate is going to be a great way for students to find out about the issues that their potential SBPs are passionate about,” Wimberly said. “I hope that it will clarify for students that are undecided or wanting to know more about certain issues.”
The debate will be at 7 p.m. Monday in the MSC’s Flag Room. Voting for positions such as student body president, yell leader and student senator will be Thursday and Friday, and results will be announced Friday evening.
