Writing to congressmen.
Sitting in on ASBSU Senate meetings.
Tim Kistle said there were may issues that made him want to run for the SSPA Senate Chair. However, Kistle said the main issue that prompted his campaign was that Boise State’s current government does not seem to be very connected to the student body lately and is not voicing anyone’s opinions
but their own.
“We need to unite the student body and government,” Kistle said. “We need to be a united front of change.” According to Kistle, he has trouble conveying to the students how much he cares and how devoted he is to the position he is campaigning for.
“I’m really passionate about running for student senate,” Kistle said.
According to Kistle, there are many people who run for ASBSU positions to pad their resume.
“I had no idea about running for a resume builder,” Kistle said.
“That just makes me sort of sad.” Kistle said he represents the students who want democracy to work, who care, and who want to create change.
“I want every demographic from our 18 thousand plus population to come talk to me,” Kistle said.
