Election season begins at UNM

Students who didn't vote in Tuesday's general elections will get another chance to vote next week. But this time, it's for student government. Fourteen candidates for the ASUNM Senate spoke to students Wednesday in the SUB at the Candidate Endorsement Forum, explaining why people should vote for them. Candidates talked about their goals for the upcoming term, and chartered student organizations had an opportunity to question each candidate. Matt Beck, a member of the slate, Joining Individuals Varied Expectations, or JIVE, said he wants to continue representing UNM students. "Our first main goal is to come out with a student-friendly newsletter that will be available from ASUNM," he said. Ten senators can be selected out of the 15 candidates that are running for the fall term.

Election guide 2006

Students' votes in Tuesday's elections could have a big impact, said Michael Rocca, a political science professor at UNM. "We're in a really unique spot here in the nation, because it's such a close race," he said. "While one person's vote may not break a tie, one person's vote matters a lot more than someone that's heavily Democrat or heavily Republican."
