We received four responses to our questionnaire of Student Government candidates — which is actually a better turn-out than the Spring election.
We received no reply from either the Gator or Impact party, but from four independents: Dakota Cash (Rawlings/Yulee seat), Sean Cubillos (District B), Sam Miorelli (Hume), and Steven Roberts (Hume)

As in the Spring, we’re surveying candidates in the upcoming Student Government election on their stances on the things we care about. SG, via direct spending or via lobbying, can influence many issues that are important to Florida Free Culture.
The following questionnaire was sent to both SG parties (Gator and Impact) and each independent candidate. We’ll post the results here before the election, as well as announce them at our Sept. 26 meeting.
