Four candidates are vying to replace current USG vice president Sam Dorison ’11: Catherine Ettman ’13, Carter Greenbaum ’12, Austin Hollimon ’12 and Anthony Pappenfus ’13.
Ettman is currently a Class of 2013 senator, Greenbaum is a U-Councilor and Pappenfus is USG communications director. Hollimon previously served as class treasurer before narrowly losing his bid for reelection last spring.
Gates Torrey ’13 and Lillian Cartwright ’14 have each entered the race for USG treasurer.
Steven Rosen ’13 and Christiana Renfro ’13 are vying for the position of academics chair.
Steven Stolzenberg ’13 is running uncontested for campus and community affairs chair, a position currently occupied by Rosen, and Aditya Rajagopalan ’13 is running uncontested for Undergraduate Life Committee chair. Rajagopalan is currently USG projects manager and a member of The Daily Princetonian editorial board.
The two incumbent Class of 2012 senators, Flavia Brancusi and Julie Chang, are running for reelection uncontested.
Class of 2013 senator Andrew Blumenfeld is running for reelection against newcomers Gabrielle Cole and Bruce Easop. Cole served as Class of 2013 vice president in the 2009-10 academic year, but was disqualified for violating election rules in her bid for reelection last April.
Fourteen freshmen are vying for two positions as Class of 2014 senator: Dylan Ackerman, Aaron Applbaum, Kevin Cen, Laura Eckhardt, Kandasi Griffiths, Merve Gurakar, Shyam Modi, Jared Peterson, Nick Ricci, Steve Server, Dillon Sharp, Charissa Shen, Amy Sun and Samantha Thiel. Applbaum is a contributing columnist for the ‘Prince,’ and Thiel is a contributing writer for the ‘Prince.’
Campaigning begins today, and the first round of voting will begin Nov. 22 at noon.
Correction: An earlier version of this article misidentified the class year of Carter Greenbaum ’12 and stated that Austin Hollimon is the treasurer of the Class of 2012 when, in fact, Peter Favoloro holds that position.
