“We have six off-campus senator positions available,” Held said. “Those positions will be determined by our legislative vice president.”

Carroll said that while she’s “very excited” to win the primary for Cobeen, her mindset will stay the same going into Thursday’s election.

“I think Cobeen residents should vote for me because I’ve had a lot of student government experience and some good ideas for my hall,” Carroll said.

Carroll said if she’s elected senator she’ll “start a newsletter for Cobeen residents and have extended office hours.”

Wu has changed her campaign motto to reflect her commitment to community service and student involvement.

“Mahatma Gandhi said, ‘Be the change you want to see in this world,'” Wu said. “We need to be the change here at Marquette.”

Nolan said she knows what it is to be a leader. The former Cobeen Hall Council President is looking for a change in becoming an MUSG senator.

“This’ll be a different experience for me, but I’m glad I’ll also be able to be involved in both hall council and MUSG senate,” Nolan said.

Ferrari said she hopes to make this year good for Mashuda.

“I really want to make sure that residents have an understanding of what’s going on around campus,” Ferrari said. “So far I’ve been talking to people and hanging up posters.”

Calandriello said his recent success has come from his ability to “be in touch with O’Donnell residents, being easy to talk to any time or place.”

“I’m hardworking and have a lot of experience in student government,” Calandriello said. “I’ll fight to better the lives of O’Donnell residents.”

Tobyne said his experience and passion for politics and his good ideas are what makes him a tough competitor.

“I have a deep commitment to campus involvement,” Tobyne said. “My goals are to improve the laundry and food services here and just overall getting to know the residents better.”

Timms said he hasn’t changed his strategy for Thursday, but he stresses that “South Hall has a lot going for it and I want to improve it and bring the hall together.”

Hoffman said he hopes his ideas for the future of McCormick will help him win on Thursday.

“I’m very excited from winning the primary and I hope that residents will see everything that I have to offer to them,” Hoffman said.

Kurinsky said he was shocked to see that he had won the McCormick primary.

“It was a surprise to see the percentage of votes I received,” Kurinsky said. “I haven’t really changed my political strategy for Thursday except to campaign more.”

Stedman said she was also excited to have such a high percentage of the vote.

“I just think that students should vote for me because I’ll work hard for them,” Stedman said.

Collar said his previous involvement in high school student government gives him an advantage.

“I would like to continue to work in student government at Marquette,” Collar said.

Fitzgerald said she hopes to use this opportunity to get more involved with Schroeder.

“It was hard to find a place at McCormick last year so I hope as senator I will be able to form a unity at Schroeder,” Fitzgerald said.

Pham and Sellnow share similar campaigning characteristics. Pham said he’s getting to know the residents of Straz Tower, and Sellnow said his goal is to know the first name of every resident.

“I have an open-door policy all the time,” Sellnow said.

Ford and Hanson both have student government experience at the college level.

“I’m a transfer student, and I spent a year as part of my school’s student government as a representative,” Ford said.

Hanson, who spent last year studying at the Les Aspin Center, said he missed being involved in MUSG during that time.

“I was a senator for about a year and a half,” Hanson said. “So I think that that gives me an advantage of winning.”

Luedke, Herrman, DeLong, Christian and McCartan were unavailable for comment.
