"While most of my ethos is comedic, it should not be mistaken for a lack of qualification. The reason I am qualified for this position boils down to two main areas that I have experience in. Managing and creating teams to accomplish big goals with little resources, and comedic entertainment.

Throughout my leadership history, I have served in many roles such as being a team captain and founder of a highschool FIRST robotics team for roughly 4 years, creating my own group with Embry-Riddle students designing RC aircraft and making comedic video content, and starting my own company, to list a few of my roles and activities.

Additionally, a special component of every group I have ever led, has been the drive to do the impossible. Management has a lot of specialties, and I specialize in managing innovation. The skill of being able to look into the abyss, and make a team confident enough to go into it, knowing they will come out successful on the other end, is something I bring to the table. Combine this leadership capability with skills in comedic entertainment, not only can a team do the impossible but also they can do it with smiles on their faces. My methods may be questionable at times, and they may not be the most formal. However, you can’t be something special, while trying to be someone normal."

"In terms of making sure that the voice of the student body is heard, I have a simple plan. My plan is to do literally what I am already doing, but maybe a little more. I personally am very active on campus already, whether it be taking my F-16 'Lloyd' out for a walk, setting up a speaker outside somewhere on campus and having random people join a hangout session with my friends and I, or by going to campus events to do some grand show of tomfoolery to post on Instagram for the student body to watch in their freetime.

Through my involvement on campus solely because I am highly social, I inherently make connections with a large portion of the campus as friends. As one can imagine, this makes it extremely easy to hear their voices, because I am doing it anyway by talking with everyone throughout the week. If there is something they have an issue with, they can literally just bring it up when I ask how their day has been. Additionally, I reach out through social media through various large group chats, to where at a moment's notice I can get a general poll of how people are generally feeling on a topic regarding the campus and its operations. Hence, the goal would be to increase my activity both in the online spaces and physical campus spaces, as time permits, in order to make me as personally accessible to the student body as possible. Furthermore, the VP and I intend on creating new systems and protocols that should make the SGA more accessible to the students as well, so the whole SGA can hear their voices a bit better as well."

"As stated in our campaign description, our purpose for running is simple --to create more transparency and tomfoolery regarding the SGA.

The transparency inherently helps the SGA serve the student body, as the student body can serve themselves more, as they don’t have to wonder what is going on in the SGA itself. The tomfoolery and comedic nature of the SGA that we will create also helps the SGA better serve the student body, as it provides an approachable and lighthearted atmosphere, where students are more comfortable approaching the SGA.

In order to reinforce the comedic nature of our proposed SGA dynamic, I have attached the beginning of the script from Top Gun in order to fill up the word count for this section. 'On March 3, 1969, the United States Navy established an elite school for the top one percent of its pilots. Its purpose was to teach the lost art of aerial combat and to ensure that the handful of men and women who graduated were the best fighter pilots in the world.'"

"I am not sure what the SGA means to me, because I am not sure what the SGA does. This is why I am here, to fix that, because most people on this campus also don't know what the SGA does.

To show my confusion, I have attached the script from Cars, as I am still confused as to if tires are technically the cars’ shoes? OK... Here we go. 'Focus. Speed. I am speed. One winner, 42 losers. I eat losers for breakfast. Breakfast. Wait, maybe I should have had breakfast. A little breck-y could be good for me. No, no, no, stay focused. Speed. I'm faster than fast. Quicker than quick. I am lightning! Hey, Lightning! You ready? Oh, yeah. Lightning's ready Ka-chow! Get your antenna balls here! Go, Lightnin'! - Whoo! - You got that right, slick. Uh! Welcome back to the Dinoco 400. I'm Bob Cutlass, here with my good friend, Darrell Cartrip. We're midway through what may be an historic day for racing. Bob, my oil pressure's through the roof. If this gets more exciting, they're gonna have to tow me outta the booth! Right, Darrell. Three cars are tied for the season points lead, heading into the final race of the season.'"

"I believe that I am well qualified for this position as I am well-versed in the various aspects of student life and the university. As a student, I have been able to see and experience the triumphs and trials of student life firsthand and hear the needs of the student body. As a member of Campus Safety, I have worked to safeguard the campus and look out for the safety and security of the student body. Additionally, I have been able to network with faculty and see the administrative side of the university. Finally, through the clubs I have been involved in, I have come to understand the outstanding role these organizations serve in providing the student body with invaluable out-of-classroom opportunities.

It is for these reasons, as well as by background of commitment, leadership, and dependability, that I believe I am well qualified for the position of SGA Vice President."

"As Vice President, I will work to meet with students, listen to their needs, and address them to the best of my abilities. If given the opportunity to do so as Vice President, I will strive to voice the needs of students to the university administration. Moreover, in this role, I would be able to coordinate meetings and discussions with students where they could voice their concerns and needs. In the end, through this position, the President and I would be able to act as liaisons between the students and the university administration, working to ensure that each of these two groups can find solutions to student concerns.

On a less serious note, the President and I would work to ensure that the students’ need for comedy and entertainment is met by the policies and practices we carry out during the course of our term in office. These are some of the ways I will be working to ensure that students' needs are met."

"I would work to create a positive and productive environment in the Student Government Association and around campus by promoting an environment of mutual respect for all people through my words and actions during my time in office. Furthermore, I will work to encourage all students to strive for excellence in whatever they do since if all the students of ERAU strive for excellence, a positive and productive campus community can be cultivated. Lastly, in regard to creating a positive and productive community, I believe that one of the most important tools for encouraging others to be positive and productive is to lead by your own example. Thus, I will strive to leave a positive impact on the people I meet and prove myself to be a productive member of the campus community as Vice President of the Student Government Association. It is in these ways that I can work to promote a better environment around campus."

"The simple answer to this question is that the SGA means the Student Government Association. However, it also represents a group of students who have been entrusted by their peers to help direct the campus in a manner that promotes the common good of the university. This means that each member of the SGA has a duty to ensure that the students are able to pursue the cultivation of their gifts and talents to the fullness of their abilities. Thus, the SGA has the ability to greatly improve the lives of students at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, if guided appropriately.

It is this kind of guidance that I hope to bring to the Student Government Association. In the end, the Student Government Association is not just a simple group of words, but a group of students who commit themselves to improving the lives of their fellow students through their governance of various aspects of the university."
