Student Council Executive Board candidates share speeches

On Friday, March 8, Student Council executive board candidates gave their speeches for the 2018 election.

The campaign process for this year’s elections was different than previous years. This year, students campaigned for President and Vice President as a team. In past years, whomever won the most votes would become President and the runner up would be the Vice President.

The four ballots running for President and Vice President are:

Ballot 1: President Ashton Canavan, Vice President Evan Lotz
Ballot 2: President Billy Carlini, Vice President Jack Boyle
Ballot 3: President Stowe Milhous, Vice President Matt Civitella
Ballot 4: President Mike Hussey, Vice President Tim Mitchell

Both the positions of Activities Chairman and Secretary were ran unopposed. Next year’s Activities Chairman will be Sean Rushton and the Secretary will be Connor Leyden.

At the assembly, Student Council co-moderator Mrs. Laurie Peslak opened the event with a prayer, current president Liam McKnight introduced each of the candidates, and co-moderator Dr. Joan Dlugos closed with logistics about the upcoming election

Voting will be held in the Duffy Theater during a TMR (Tuesday Morning Rally) on Tuesday, March 13. An email will be sent to the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors so that students not on campus will sill be able to vote. The ballot with the most votes will win the positions of Student Council President and Vice President.

Voting closes at 1 p.m. on Tuesday.
