Slogan: Representing Equity

Candidate Statement:
Sac State wants to “redefine the possible,” but it takes more than one person’s voice to make a difference. We need campus-wide collaboration and community backing to move forward with change. My name is Noah Marty, and I am teaming up with Donna “BasicTaq” Walters to make this happen. As the current Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) Vice President of University Affairs, voting member for the California State Student Association, former Vice President of Outreach and current Political Director for student organizations both here on campus and statewide, I have gained experience at multiple levels of student government and club leadership. I’ve also held a position at every level of ASI, starting as an interested student, then committee member, next an intern, then a staff member and committee chair, and now in my current role as an Executive on the ASI Board of Directors. I’ve seen this organization from every angle and want to ensure our student leaders have the support they need to succeed. With Donna’s experience as ASI’s Interim Executive Vice President and current ASI Director of Business Administration, a 2020 Dean’s Award Recipient, and major player in bringing a thriving esports scene to our campus and the Big Sky Athletic Conference, she not only knows what is needed to reduce barriers and create environments where student voices are actively heard, but she puts ideas into motion and takes action to represent the underrepresented. We are the most qualified team, because in our current roles we are both already actively making improvements to campus life and higher education. As the new ASI President and Executive Vice President (EVP), we will be able to further our efforts and create larger spaces for all students to be heard. Whether representation means advocating at the Capitol to expand support for housing and homelessness, reform financial aid, or taking student feedback directly to the highest levels at Sac State, we will work to support all Sac State students’ needs equitably. As your President and EVP, we will always welcome questions about our roles in ASI and our efforts to promote inclusivity. We plan to implement policies to provide better support for student clubs and organizations so that student leaders can successfully grow their communities. We will increase both academic and career opportunities by working towards addressing impaction, increasing access to alumni networks, and providing strong leadership to the college directors on our ASI Board. We are dedicated to continuing our efforts towards advancing the support of basic needs and student safety initiatives by collaborating with more departments across campus. Finally, we promise to engage our campus members through a larger and more active ASI presence, and ensure all our business is as transparent as possible to our students. On April 15th and 16th, we ask that you vote for us so that we can continue to strengthen our collective voice, enact the change that is needed for better representation, and serve all Sac State students equitably.

Candidate Statement:
My name is Coleton Matics, and I am running for Vice President of University Affairs. For the 2019 to 2020 academic year, I was elected as the ASI Director of Health and Human Services. In this position, I organized events and meetings for the students within the College of HHS, and sat on several committees dedicated to the safety and well being of students.

Through my experiences here at CSUS and in the medical field, I have seen first hand how beneficial it is for students to have the basic resources and information necessary to direct them towards a path of success. As Vice President of University Affairs, I will strive to put on career centered events for all colleges at Sac State and work to provide students with the basic resources they need in order to succeed.

TREVOR ROBINSON
Position: Vice President of Academic Affairs
Slogan: We Deserve Better
Candidate Statement:
I decided to run to be your Vice President of Academic Affairs because I felt that this university was far short of realizing it’s true potential. I believe we can greatly improve this campus in part by electing people who understand and have suffered the same issues we’ve been facing. I’d like to think that I am one of those people. For the last two years, I have been an active student at Sacramento State. I have lived on campus, attended several university events, and met a wide range of unique individuals. Through this time, I have been disappointed with the lack of outreach from our student government, and frustrated with aspects of many student ran programs. I will not lie and claim that I will solve everything and make this campus a paradise, but I do promise that if you elect me I will always remember to listen to you, the ones who put me in my position, and that I will help push for the changes that you need. I will not put the best interests of the board of trustees, or faculty, or anyone else before you, my fellow students paying thousands of dollars for the resources this university is supposed to provide. So if you feel the way I do, and you put your trust in me to represent you, I think together, we can make this university a much better place than it is now. Thank you for your consideration.
