He pledges to fight for students rights, especially in local elections—referring to the petition to move elections to June when most students are no longer on campus. “The Republican plan to pre- vent Bates students from voting in local elections is a travesty, and I’ll fight back,” Majerus-Collins said. “I can’t do these things alone, but if people come together, we can make a real difference in our community and in our world.” If elected, Majerus-Collins wants a “Cabinet that represents Bates.” At the debate held Tuesday, Majerus-Collins acknowledged the need for diversified leadership to ensure broad outreach and for thor- ough, strong connections with the student body.

He has learned a lot from his time in stu- dent government, particularly the “importance of consistent and clear communication.” “I plan on being a more present leader, voicing myself on more issues than my position has historically done,” Jurgensen said. “Elaborating on this, traditionally the President of the Senate would work solely in the realm of internal affairs—deal- ing with politics and little else.
