An official list of the students eligible to be candidates in the Spring General Election was released on the Student Government website, prior to the beginning of campaigning on Friday.

There are four individuals running on two joint tickets for the positions of student body president and student body vice president.

Alex Obiol, a third-year studying textile engineering, is currently the director of University Affairs for the executive branch of Student Government and is a candidate for student body president. Obiol’s running mate is Lexie Malico, a third-year Ph.D. student in chemistry, who is currently a senator for Graduate and Lifelong Education.

Emma Carter, a third-year majoring in sociology* and international studies, is also running for student body president with her running mate Nicole Teague, a third-year studying business administration. Both Carter and Teague currently serve in the Senate. Previously, Carter was the delegate for the UNC System’s Association of Student Governments.

Two student body officer positions are uncontested races. Mitchell Moravec, a first-year graduate student in public administration, is running for student senate president, and Kiera Jonson, a fourth-year studying microbiology, is running for student body chief justice.

Moravec is currently the director of Student Wellness for Student Government and additionally served as student senate president during the 2017-2018 academic year.

Jonson is currently a member of the student conduct board.

Two people are candidates for student body treasurer: Ryan Dunn, a third-year studying political science, and Garrison Seitz, a second-year studying engineering. Dunn is currently chief of staff for the executive branch.

The College of Humanities and Social Sciences is the only college with more people running for Senate positions than there are seats available.
