Elections Administration Committee

Vernon Lumpkin

PLATFORM STATEMENT

Hi Huskies! My name is Vernon Lumpkin, and I’m running to be your ASUW President. A fun fact about me is that I’ve lived in Singapore, Munich, and Oregon, but am now proud to call the PNW home.  

I was approached by Osman Salahuddin, a previous President, after speaking at the opening of the Eastside’s light rail, and he pushed me to run for office. The President should be an energetic leader that serves as a molder of consensus, something others and Osman see in me.  

While I realize that I have much less direct experience than other candidates, I also think that difference allows me to truly represent student voice. I spend my time on Denny field, Greek row, Odegaard, the IMA, music practice rooms, getting to know anyone and everyone.  

To avoid getting political, the coming year will be filled with a lot of changes coming from the federal level, and my number one priority if elected will be the safety and inclusivity of every student. Now, more than ever, we need to be a community that protects and supports one another. A Pack.  

I also want a vending machine in Ode. 

GO DAWGS.
