Elections Commissioner Confirmation
Bradley Johnson: I am currently a 4 th year student. Majoring in mechanical engineering, minor in political science. I have had a lot of ideas, my creativity and my interest in elections would give me a step up in being creative in this venue. o Chairwoman Wollam: Do you have some goals or changes you would like to make?-I read a lot of what Commissioner Rains did; I think we can only build off of what we have. I read some of his notes; I would love to continue aiming at those things. He hardly used any of the budget; there is a lot of opportunity, more advertising to draw more voters. o Senator Harvel: Do you have any experience with elections in the past?- My major was demanding, so I didn’t get as involved, being in this last election was the majority of my experience o Senator Azzouz: Do you think you will have the time for the elections? - Absolutely. On the actual two days of elections I can devote as much time as I can around my classes. o Chairwoman Wollam: A lot of times it is hard to find people at the polling stations, so do you have any ideas to get volunteers?- Recruiting from sitting senators and OP or whatever I can recruit from. I am going to do my best to recruit as many as I can.

John E. Sapp Conference Room o Senator Guerra: You mentioned you were involved, how do you think you can be involved in an unbiased manner? - There is a level of unbiased. I am not affiliated with a whole lot, and I have a pretty good chance of being unbiased o Chairwoman Wollam: Would you change anything specific? - Since the spring election will be bigger, I would like to change the tables in the SU, they weren’t very well advertised. My goal is to change it by improving people’s knowledge of it. o Senator Ali Awan: How do you plan to get more people to vote? - The new app is a good field. I guarantee that there will be more votes. I was thinking of more locations with high traffic, like by the villages/pita pit. o Chairwoman Wollam: You mentioned you could be unbiased, but I know the volunteers in the past were biased, how do you plan to change that? - You would hope that the volunteers are unbiased. The distance away from people campaigning is what it is. We have to make sure we drive it home that it is an unbiased position. o Senator Galligan: How many credit hours are you taking, and do you have any other jobs? – I am currently taking 12 credits, I feel I am prepared to budget my time.
Occasionally I work on the weekend.
