Let’s talk about the experience of the Student Alliance Party executive ticket.
Its presidential candidate’s extent of experience is being a student senator who was recommended for disqualification by the Election Commission. While I applaud effort, there is a rather substantial learning curve from student senator to Student Body president. It seems far fetched that the Student Alliance Party has realized this.
Its vice presidential candidate has no experience whatsoever at UF other than being a student — a graduate student. And he wants to manage the cabinet?
The party’s treasurer candidate is probably the most questionable of them all. His previous experience: assistant chief of staff, where he accomplished nothing. Zero. Zip. Sounds great! Let’s sign him up to manage a $14.4 million budget. Is this what Student Government elections are coming to?
To the Student Alliance Party: Next time, please have enough respect for the Student Body to provide us with decent choices for the executive ticket. Until then, run for Student Senate, Mr. Dream-big-and-not-live-in-reality.
Correction: This letter was initially attributed to UF Student Josh Winegar. Winegar informed the Alligator that the letters were sent falsely under his name by members of the Unite Party, who currently hold the Student Government majority.
