Although some may view experience as a plus to an ASG candidate, Nate Perkins said it was an obstacle his campaign for student services vice president, had to overcome.
“I think there was a lot of weight put on whether you were an insider or an outsider on ASG,” he said.
Perkins, who has served on the Student Services Committee, said the stigma was that everyone in ASG is of the same mindset and will want to maintain the status quo within the organization next year.
“Even though I have experience I can offer change,” Perkins said.
With about an hour to go before the results are announced, Perkins said he feels his chances of being elected look good.
“I think we really created a solid platform,” he said. “I think it’s been a solid campaign all around.
Both Perkins and his opponent, Hariharan “Harry” Vijayaraghavan, cater to different audiences, Perkins said.
“With so many people coming out this year and with so much interest, its still up in the air,” he said.
Yet Perkins said he is pleased with the endorsements he has gotten.
“There’s definitely been a good show of support,” he said.
