The Student Association Elections and Credentials Committee announced the potential candidates for this semester's SA executive board and SUNY delegate elections on Friday.
???With six different parties and two unaffiliated candidates running for election, this year's ballot sharply contrasts last year's election in which only one party appeared on the ballot.
???Two of the six parties, The Students' Party and Unified, feature complete tickets, while The Students' Voice intends to run a full slate of e-board candidates along with three SUNY delegate candidates.
???The Students' Party intendeds to run SA Senate Chairperson Hassan Farah as its presidential candidate, Ernesto Alvarado for its vice president spot and SA Senator Jordan Fried for treasurer.
???The four SUNY delegate candidates backed by The Students' Party plans to back include fellow SA Senator Amanda Jonas, UB Climate Action Network Chair Emily Bauer as well as Alex Wallach and Nicholas Baxter.
???Unified is looking to run current SA Asst. Treasurer Cheryl Mohabir for president, SA International Coordinator Andrilisa Read for vice president and SA Engineering Coordinator Greg Robbins for treasurer.
???For the four SUNY delegate slots, Unified plans on running Spectrum Staff Writer Jennifer Lewis, Evan Hamberger, Ricky Yu and David Zimmer.
???The Students' Voice intends to run Shervin Stoney for president, Matthew Key for vice president and Jessica Dorofy for treasurer. Olympia Jarboe, Marissa Hercules and Chad Burlee are the party's three potential SUNY delegate candidates.
???Generation Editor in Chief Andrew Blake is intending to run for president for UB Awesome! His running mate plans on being Generation senior editor Lauren Ministero.
???UB's New Perspective ticket looks to have Darnell Cummings run for the president seat, with Yasmin Paula for vice president and Rashod Coston as treasurer.
???Change for UB is looking to run just two candidates in this election, Maaz Memon for treasurer and Ajay Matta for SUNY delegate.
???The two candidates that are running unaffiliated are SA Activities Director Caitlin Mulholland for SUNY delegate and Randy J. Williams, Jr. for treasurer.
???Each potential candidate's listing on the ballot is pending review of their petitions by the Elections and Credentials Committee.
???SA elections will be held from March 24-26.
