Editor’s Note: An Elections Committee investigation disqualified Claire Ting ’25 from the presidential race on Thursday, April 18.

MULTIMEDIA/NEWS | Three presidential candidates defended their record and advocated for their candidacy in a Tuesday, April 16 Student Assembly forum hosted by The Sun.

Current freshman representative Zora deRham ’27, non-traditional student advocate Getulio Gonzalez-Mulattieri ’25 and current executive vice president Claire Ting ’25 were the only candidates out of the five people running to appear at the forum. The event was moderated by Sun editor-in-chief Gabriel Levin ’26.

In the forum, Ting defended her motivations for providing S.A. internal documents to a progressive student publication, the focus of an ongoing Elections Committee investigation. Gonzalez-Mulattieri refuted past alleged violent conduct and deRham explained why the student body should vote a first-year student to the top position on the Assembly.

Voting and campaigning for the S.A. elections opened Sunday, April 14 and will close at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, April 21.
