Five write-in candidates confirmed as student senators

On March 1, Weber State University Student Association Legislative Election Chair Juhi Dubal confirmed that five of the eight senate seats that had not been decided after last month’s student senate elections have now been filled.

Dubal confirmed the following student senators:

• African American Senator: Monica Annoh
• Asian Senator: Zoe Hall
• College of Applied Science and Technology Senator: Daniel Romero
• Pacific Islander Senator: Kambri Broad
• Students with Disabilities Senator: Cade Anderson

The announcement of these senators was delayed because they were write-in candidates. WSUSA had to wait until the candidates had submitted their paperwork and confirmed their candidacy to reveal the results, Dubal said.

The American Indian Senator, Athletic Senator and College of Education Senator positions remain unfilled because the write-in candidates for those seats have not turned in an acceptance response to Dubal.
