Kingsford’s Promise to Utah State University if Elected

Abby Kingsford sees a problem.

There’s not enough student involvement on campus.

“If elected, I promise to make sure that students living on campus are more involved,” said Kingsford, a candidate for executive vice president.

This position of the Associated Students of Utah State University board works with the state of Utah, dealing with government relations.

“This position could also be called the government relations liaison,” said Hannah Blackburn, who is currently in charge of USU elections. “This position works very closely with the state of Utah when we go into a legislation session.”

Kingsford currently does a lot of work for the student government council and feels as though she is very qualified.

“I am on the College of Humanities, Social Student Council, Government Council and the student fee board,” Kingsford said. “I know how ASUSU works because of my current involvement.”

This week she is focusing on educating the school of agriculture and bringing in several speakers who work for the state of Utah to address agriculture students and teachers.

“Abby is very qualified for this position and is very familiar with ASUSU,” Blackburn said.

If elected, Kingsford wants to “bridge the gap between housing and ASUSU. I have talked to several housing officials and I feel as though there could be a better reach in getting them more involved,” Kingsford said.

Kyldie Heywood, a classmate of Kingsford, also believes she is qualified for this position.

“She is a great role model and student,” Heywood said. “She is very personable and works hard.”
