After voting closed for the Undergraduate Student Government Downtown elections, candidates on both sides said they felt positive about the results, which will be released Friday at noon.
It's USGD election season, and the tweets were flying. The Downtown Devil has collected some tweets from this past election season that show the use of social media on both sides.
In an effort to convert a political power-play, the current vice president of services for student government Downtown met with both vice presidential candidates for Frank Smith III’s campaign during the past couple weeks, trying to get them to leave his ticket, one of the candidates said.
A signature agenda item of Alexis Kramer's USGD presidential campaign would not occur during her first term, according to ASU's Benjamin Davis, assistant director of student organizations and programming.
Alexis Kramer's goals include improving the OrgSync system, getting students involved in the Super Bowl and adding charging stations on campus. Frank Smith III's goals include creating a USG scholarship, further addressing the textbook pledge and adding a parking lot shuttle and traffic regulator to improve safety.
Walter Cronkite School Sen. Alexis Kramer said she is running for president of the Downtown campus because Undergraduate Student Government Downtown has lacked leadership this year and the organization is failing students.
