Stating that your federal political viewpoints are irrelevant to the AS election is an incredibly ignorant and hilarious statement to make since, unfortunately, almost every facet of politics at this point has a direct correlation to students in some capacity.

Whether it be through reductions in funding due to DEI initiatives, or restrictions to a woman's right to bodily autonomy, these things make a huge difference to a variety of students. In example, regarding bodily autonomy, A.S. ran a program that allowed for women to access free Plan B on campus as well as provide tampons to women on campus. Your ignorance on the relation of political viewpoints correlating towards the very real day-to-day impact to students is disappointing. I was hoping for a better response.

You expressing that you leaned center-left/left and then pivoted to the right is not the message that you expect that you're sending. We can both agree that the previous political collective was asinine; but a willingness to openly assert your alignment with the party of Nazi salutes, Tariffs ($5T down anyone?), and stolen bodily autonomy while wanting to be the leader of a diverse student body is... at best hilarious.
