Candidate Statement: 

Hello, fellow Hornets! My name is Tinkal Ambaliya and I am running for Vice President of Finance. I am currently a sophomore majoring in Business Administration with a concentration in Management Information Systems here at Sac State. My journey in student leadership has been incredibly rewarding, serving as the director of Undeclared Students and actively participating in key committees such as the Finance and Budget Committee. Through these roles, I’ve been intimately involved in approving numerous campus programs for student employment grants and overseeing budgets totaling $10 million over the year. This experience has not only equipped me with a deep understanding of financial management but has also instilled in me a profound commitment to student welfare. I am proud to have contributed to fostering a supportive environment for diverse communities on campus, including collaborating with CARES to ensure basic needs are met for our fellow students. As your Vice President of Finance, I will continue to advocate for transparency, accountability, and inclusivity, working tirelessly to address the financial needs of our student body. Having served on the board and being involved in student government, I genuinely believe I’m the perfect fit for this role. Your support on voting day April 10 and 11 would be greatly appreciated, please vote for me! As together, we can pave the way for a brighter, more prosperous future for all. Thank you, and let’s SOAR together.

Candidate Statement: 

Hello Hornets! My name is Wasim Hamdani, and I am running to be our next ASI Vice President of Finance. As a third-year, low-income, transfer student, I developed a passion for helping our community in issues that most matter to us. As an SQE advocate, I fiercely fought against the 34% percent tuition increase that negatively impacts us! We rallied, we made our voices loud, and we demanded that those power listened to us. I will continue doing so as your next VPF. Second, I will prioritize that students receive as much support for ASI, a multi-million nonprofit, in increasing and expanding scholarships, advocating for stronger resources, and decreasing the food insecurity rate by advocating for the revitalization and expansion of the food pantry. No student should feel food insecure when our campus has the funds to put the food insecurity rates to zero. I’ll advocate for the creation of an emergency fund with immediate reimbursement for students who are facing extreme financial hardships. It’s time that our tuition money works for us! On April 10th and 11th, remember that we’re voting for smart spending, advocacy, and leadership!
