Senior Kyle Boyer, former Executive Vice President of the Student Association, calls on SA candidates to remember who they are advocating for, even after election season is over.

Each February, GW endures one of its most recognizable traditions – the Student Association elections. As ridiculous as it is, SA election season is also an exciting time, providing endorsement hearings, broadcast debates, live blogs, a postering day, fancy Web sites, T-shirt armies, rental cars, and, of course, violations. The elections bring energy to campus and, if nothing else, provide unassuming freshmen with a few days of free candy and energy drinks. The problem isn’t the election spectacle; it’s what we’re left with after the elections are over.
