A former Cardinal Connection slate campaign member will work with the new Student Government Association slate as senate pro tempore.
Sophomore marketing major Bryan Kubel was voted on as the final member of Cardinal Connection’s executive slate Wednesday, acting as president pro tempore.
When former president Malachi Randolph resigned in Fall 2013, Kubel tried for pro tempore but did not win. This time, he was successful.
He said after watching current pro tempore Jack Hesser, he wanted to try again.
“I thought, ‘I’ll try again because I don’t want to give up’ and the Senate believed in me,” he said.
As pro tempore, Kubel will be a member of the executive board and receive a partial stipend for tuition, but his role will be to serve as the bridge between Student Senate and the executive board.
He said he wants to make senate more efficient by hosting a retreat for senators and giving them a survey to decide what committee to serve on.
He also wants to increase SGA transparency by sharing legislation on Google Drive and on social media and make it easier for students to sponsor legislation.
Kubel ran for pro tempore against Empower presidential candidate, senator Jess Wade.
Editor's note: A previous version of this article stated Bryan Kubel was a former Empower slate candidate. This is incorrect; Kubel worked on the campaign for Cardinal Connection. The Daily News regrets this error.
