Student Government debate candidates for student body president and student body vice president had the opportunity to answer questions and respond to challenges directed at their platform Feb. 10.
The debate began with candidates Valentinis-Dee, Florence, Desalvo, and Camargo introducing themselves to the audience and outlining how they plan to positively contribute to Texas State.
Questions pertained to safety on campus, Bobcat Bobbies, Safe Ride, the ACT Ally program, sexual assault, Bobcat pride, Greek life, Student Government, parking services on campus and social media etiquette for Student Government.
While both platforms agreed on many issues, the Valentinis- Dee Florence platform is centered around taking action on the topics of diversity, inclusion, and campus safety, also encouraging more seats within Student Government to be filled with “new faces.”
The Desalvo-Camargo platform is more focused on Student Government seat retention, Bobcat pride among students and “focusing on the future.”
