With fewer than three hours left till the polls close, Blake Yocom and his campaign continue to seek out students who have yet to cast their vote.
The Weinberg junior said he has “no idea” where he stands in the polls.
“It’s a really interesting year,” he said “More people are involved and I think more people are going to vote than in years past.”
Yocom is running as an ASG outsider – he has no formal experience with ASG but hopes students will evaluate his candidacy based on his ideas.
“I think I’ve set the tone this year,” he said. ”The student body wanted someone outside of ASG to bring new ideas and new enthusiasm.”
The presidential candidate said he wished he had gotten started with the organization earlier, but at the same time believes he offers a fresh perspective to NU’s student government.
“I’ve only been running for a few weeks,” he said. ”I’m glad I haven’t been running for this position for two years. It’s like a catch-22.”
