Jon Chichwak
1. If you could have one plank of your platform to run on, what would it be?
Advocacy for the Students, number one most important job that the Senate has.
2. How do you plan on accomplishing that plank?
Working hard with the Senate to write and pass bills that deal with student needs, not legislation that is concerned with self-governance.
3. What’s your Web site?
Facebook group: “Jon Chichwak for Senate President”
4. Favorite Film?
Ocean’s 11
5. Favorite NCSU memory?
Favorite NCSU memory is an impossible question to answer. I grew up a State fan, and I remember going to Reynolds to watch basketball games, sitting on the hill at Carter-Finley watching Torry Holt play football, going down to Jacksonville for the NCSU/ND Gator Bowl. Storming the field after we beat Florida State in football. And that’s just a start!
6. Favorite Hillsborough Street eatery?
I heart NY Pizza
7. What makes you superior to the other candidates?
I’m committed to the job. I’m not running, so that I can resign and have someone else be Senate President. I’ve been dedicated to this since I filed, and I don’t need to stoop to negative advertising in order to win votes.

1. If you could have one platform to run on, what would it be?
[just to clarify, is this 1 issue or 1 entire platform? I’m assuming it’s1 issue — if not let me know and I’ll expand on it]
Making the Senate a better advocate for the students they’re supposed torepresent.
2. How do you plan on accomplishing that plank?
I’m going to promote the same changes I’ve promoted this year as aSenator: gutting the Senate bureaucracy, training Senators on how to be”student lobbyists,” and working with students groups and the media to getmore people involved in reforming Student Government.
