Despite elections races not officially starting for another 3 months, Facebook groups for potential Feds Exec have started to pop up. In order to fuel unsolicited speculation, I give you a list of potential Feds Exec candidates.

President:

Justin Williams – Current ES Councillor, Feds Director, Past FOC, and general socialist proselytizer, Justin is a (very) early leader in the race to be the next Feds President. A supportive Facebook group already has several councillors as members as well as 3 of the 4 other Feds non-exec directors.

Renjie Butalid – Senator-at-large and past Feds VP AF, Renjie will be completing his degree and could be a star candidate if he decides to run. Part of the Jenjie Hentalid duo that held the Feds together earlier this year, Renjie’s record could bring him a second election win.

Steve Hayle – Arts Senator, Student Governor, and Past Feds Councillor and Board Member, Steve has a long history with Feds that gives him the experience to run Feds.

VP Admin-Finance:

Aaron Stauch – Senator and Coordinator for CRT, Aaron seems keen on running for a Feds Exec position. It’s still unclear what position he’s interested in (Maybe Education), but for the last 9 months he’s had Feds2008.com registered (as well as .ca).

VP Education:

Andres Fuentes Martinez - Andres is a political powerhouse with strong connections to the Liberal Party (He’s been UW President of the UW Young Liberals for 2 years), great for lobbying. Former SJU Student’s Council Vice-Pres, he seems connected to Williams, who has created a Facebook group.

Chris Neal – SJU Councillor, Feds Director, SJU Student’s Council VP, and committee whore, Chris will be a strong candidate for the position he’s been building up to for the past few years. (EAC, OUSA delegate, etc.)

VP Internal:

Dan DesRosiers – Past Service Coordinator and small business owner, Dan has a long history of involvement at UW and in the community.

Andrew Falcao – Past SciSoc President, Feds Councillor and Director as well as Arts Commissioner, Andrew has many connections to clubs and services and has been a tireless volunteer to many causes.

I’m sure there are other people considering a run, but I’ve only heard so many rumours given that I’m not on campus this term. So far it looks like it will be an interesting campaign.
