Abby Myers - Presidential Candidate - Bobcats First Alliance
Abby Myers - Presidential Candidate
I started my collegiate journey with no knowledge of how the next few years would look because I was setting the precedent as a first-generation college student. Texas State and the students here took me in, challenged me, and made me who I am today. I have experienced the best parts of our university- sitting at Sewell with friends, late-night cereal at Harris, and exchanging waves with familiar faces in the Quad but I have experienced the tough parts of being a university student- working multiple jobs, donating plasma just to get by, conquering the stairs by Hines, and the sleepless nights that come with trying to balance it all. I am running to implement policies that will make students' loads a little easier to carry because while being a student is supposed to challenge you, it should also be a role that uplifts you, not continuously weighs you down.
Every day since I arrived in San Marcos, I have worked towards enhancing our campus and cultivating a community that advocates for every student. I began working in student government during my freshman year and have since used my position to implement a President's List, speak out against and condemn hate crimes on campus, install more hammock stands on campus, improve campus responses surrounding free speech demonstrations, as well as meet with administrators to inform them of active issues on campus and work towards resolutions. I have developed connections with the larger Texas State community through various service and volunteer-oriented positions and have been able to meet with students from all walks of life to have a wider understanding of who makes up Texas State and the values and issues that matter to them. I am running with the experience and connections to inspire change on campus, dedicated to representing those who often feel like just a face in the crowd among our 40,000 students.
Carter Lawson - Presidential Candidate - Independent
My administration would focus on channeling funding toward student benefits. It has become a norm for events to be held through organizations and academic departments when the university could do more to provide resources for wider student involvement. This harms campus culture. Dances should be put on every semester, inviting the entire student body and welcoming organizations to participate. A university-wide talent show should be put on each semester. Considering all the musical talent we host on campus, Texas State should have an annual arts festival in the Spring showcasing student arts. This would grant a forum for musical performances, poetry readings, and visual arts to be prominent on campus. We should have a Spring fund-raising flag football tournament hosted by the university, with a league for Greek organizations. These events would allow for a cohesive, general campus culture to grow without requiring specific organization membership.
Jordan Hunter - Presidential Candidate - Jordan and Emma, Shooting for the Stars Alliance
Jordan Hunter - Presidential Candidate
Hey! My name is Jordan Hunter and I am a dedicated leader committed to fostering student engagement on campus. As the Director of Freshman Council for Student Government, I have worked to develop leadership skills within first-year students, ensuring their voices are heard. Additionally, I serve as the Vice President of Black Men United, where I help empower and support Black men at Texas State through leadership, mentorship, and community initiatives.

I look forward to the opportunity to represent and advocate for all Bobcats as Student Body President.
Emma Stampley - Vice Presidential Candidate - Jordan and Emma, Shooting for the Stars Alliance
Emma Stampley - Vice Presidential Candidate
Hi y'all! I am a passionate advocate for student involvement and engagement, having dedicated much of my time to leadership roles on campus. Currently, I serve as the President of the Panhellenic Council, overseeing all eight Panhellenic sororities on campus, and previously held the role of VP of Finance and Administration. In addition, I serve as the Director of Sustainability for Student Government, where I collaborate with the Office of Sustainability and work to bring sustainable programming to the student body.
I am pursuing a degree in Geography with a focus on Urban and Regional Planning, along with minors in Sustainability and GIS. With plans to continue my studies and pursue a graduate degree after graduation, I am committed to creating positive and sustainable change both on and off campus.
I am excited to continue my work within student government and am eager to support the student body in a new capacity. With experience in leadership and sustainability, I am ready to serve and advocate for all students!

Name Alexandra Dinescu | Position Senator – College of Health Professions | Alliance None | Campaign Agenda I plan to focus on three initiatives. First, I will work to provide more healthcare shadow and internship opportunities for undergraduate students. For example, most hospital shadowing programs are gone due to COVID. I want to encourage new or existing (for example, Bobcat Shadow) opportunities to become available. Second, I plan on working with the College of Health Sciences to provide more information about ALL health science majors. For example, there are concentrations in pre-respiratory and pre-radiation which few students know about. Lastly, the third initiative I want to focus on is improving Nite Cats (student safety escort program). Nite Cats is a very good program, but there are a lot of ways to improve its efficiency. |

Name Joseph Crist | Position Senator – At Large | Alliance None | Campaign Agenda As a senator representing the entire student body, I recognize my role in advocating for the voices of a wide range of students as well as being able to help and comfort them. Serving on the Health & Safety Committee, numerous concerns from different groups have been brought to my attention and it has been a pleasure to advocate for them. I pride myself on my ability to connect with others from diverse backgrounds and my strong sense of empathy, especially when confronting an issue that I have not dealt with personally. My achievements since being at TXST (such as making Dean's List every semester) and involvement in other organizations (such as being the philanthropy chair for my fraternity and a member of Model UN) are a tribute to my commitment to staying involved, my ability to form creative solutions, and the passion I have for helping others. As a Senator, I would do my best to expand and advocate for the health programs offered through the school, work towards better safety initiatives on campus, and ensure that anyone, regardless of their background, feels safe, comfortable, and heard.

In terms of sustainability, I plan to reduce all single-use plastics in campus food services by switching to more eco-friendly options like cardboard, and collaborate with faculty, clubs, and student organizations to make our campus greener. As a senator, I’m committed to ensuring student voices are heard, addressing current issues, and taking steps to prevent future problems from arising. |
Name Keyara Carr | Position Senator – At Large | Alliance None | Campaign Agenda My Senatorial campaign is dedicated to fostering a stronger sense of community on our large campus by enhancing familiarity and connection among students, faculty, and the student body. I believe that ensuring every voice is heard starts with creating structured opportunities for engagement and collaboration. My agenda includes the formation of committees that leverage the insights and awareness of both students and faculty to improve access to campus resources and support systems. By strengthening relationships with our academic departments and campus leadership, we aim to create a more connected and responsive environment where no one feels overlooked or left behind. I believe fostering stronger familiarity through our campus’s different departments could aid students in advancing in their future career field. This also allows students to develop the tools needed to graduate, but with the guidance of those knowledgeable in their community. My campaign holds dedication to raising awareness around substance abuse and promoting access to counseling and support services on campus. I aim to increase the availability of resources for safe drug practices to ensure a safer and more informed campus community. Through education and advocacy, we can strive to create a supportive environment where students feel empowered to make informed decisions and seek help without judgment. Overall enhancing the safety and sensibility of our community. Our campaign is committed to recognizing and valuing the vital role that all campus organizations play in strengthening our campus community. Multicultural organizations serve as a cornerstone for fostering understanding and unity among students from diverse backgrounds. I believe that creating a more inclusive environment, where all identities are respected and represented, enhances our collective sense of belonging. My agenda focuses on supporting and empowering these organizations while promoting initiatives that ensure every student feels seen, heard, and valued. By encouraging collaboration and engagement across all student-led groups, we can aim to create a campus culture where diversity is celebrated, and every voice matters. |
Name Madison Koop | Position Senator – College of Education | Alliance None | Campaign Agenda My goal in continuing to hold the seat for the College of Education in student government is to ensure that I remain a strong advocate for my fellow peers.

Name Nathan Marquez | Position Senator – At Large | Alliance None | Campaign Agenda My goal is to promote collaboration between greek life and student organizations in order to strengthen relationships between our campus community, decreasing negative stigma surrounding fraternities and sororities while also highlighting the various student organizations that Texas State has to offer. My plan for achieving said goal is to organize joint competitions and philanthropy events by pairing one greek organization with one student organization. Additionally I would like to create Greek and Student organization mixers so that every student can network and learn about various unique communities. By achieving this goal, we as a community can bridge the gaps between different student groups, help others discover new organizations, and strengthen collaboration, leadership, and student involvement across campus. |

Name Samantha Raegan | Position Senator – College of Liberal Arts | Alliance None | Campaign Agenda While serving as your senator of the College of Liberal Arts, I will address both campus-wide and individual concerns, especially for students pursuing education beyond a bachelor’s degree. As a Psychology major with a Pre-Medical Studies minor, I have witnessed struggles with mental health, finances, and uncertainty about continuing education. I plan to establish a mentorship program connecting students with professionals who have pursued graduate or professional degrees. Additionally, I want to organize events informing undergraduates about financial assistance for graduate school. Collaborating with individuals currently in or who have completed advanced degrees would provide valuable insight and encouragement. With Texas State University offering graduate programs, we have access to mentors who can inspire students to further their education. These initiatives could provide the motivation some students need to pursue their studies, ultimately increasing graduation rates across campus. |
