Three and a half days remain in the Student Association candidate registration period and already seven students have announced their intentions to run for SA president, and four for executive vice president.
The current list for Presidential candidates is:
Julie Bindelglass-a sophomore and chair of the SA Finance Committe
Kyle Boyer-a junior and the executive vice president of the SA
George Brunner-a transfer student and founder of the GW Veterans
Justin Hollimon-a junior and member of the Residence Hall Association Executive Board
Sammy Lopez-a junior running with EVP candidate Arthur Goodland
Jordan Phillips-a sophomore
Nick Polk-a sophomore and chair of the SA Rules Committee
Last year, four students ran for the SA’s top spot.
The current list for EVP candidates is
Arthur Goodland-a junior running with presidential candidate Sammy Lopez
Louis Laverone-a junior and chair of the SA Academic Affairs Committee
Jason Lifton-a sophomore and the SA’s vice president of community affairs
Drew Williams-a junior and executive vice president of the Inter-Fraternity Council
Last year there were three candidates vying for the office of EVP.
SA elections will take place Feb. 25 and 26.
If no student garners more than 40 percent of the vote, the election will move to a runoff on March 11 and 12.
This is all Logan and Kyle’s fault for changing the rules less than a week before the election.
I hope people see how sketchy Kyle is for assisting Logan so close to the election registration period and that no one votes for him.
What happened to journalistic ethics and
for each of the candidates?
You print a full story on Boyer and Polk; you blog about Julie and Burnner; and the other three candidates get one line?
Establishment bias wins again…

Ryan,
Are you serious? Some of these candidates JUST declared and probably either ignored the Hatchet when they sent an interview request or they never formally declared to the Hatchet. Like every year they will have a full profile of all the candidates, so grow up
Hey, you know what’s a great way to get the newspaper to care about what you think? Calling them idiots for not printing stories about candidates who announced their candidacies between newspaper issues.
Seriously, when are people going to realize that whining about newspaper biases ON A NEWSPAPER’S BLOG isn’t going to do anything?
Dear Ryan,
You meant to read “Boyer and Polk; you blog about Julie and Brunner”. typo!
As someone who has criticized the Hatchet for there bias coverage in the past, I totally disagree with anyone claiming a bias in this situation. I ran for both SA President in 2006 and EVP in 2007. The Hatchet’s coverage regarding candidates’ announcements has always been guided by when candidates announce in the news cycle. If a candidate wished for better press from their announcement, they should have planned their announcement better.
