Anthony Kurzeja

Hello! My name is Anthony Kurzeja but I typically go by KJ. I am a Sociology major in the College of Arts and Sciences and currently in my first year of college. I am running for both a senator seat and an executive position for senator-at-large. Although I am a sociology major I am highly interested in mechanics and I’m an aviation mechanic on the side. The reason for me running for these positions is to help improve student involvement on campus and overall campus conditions. I believe outreach to students helps to create involvement. For example, many students while I was petitioning for signatures never knew about ASUH or campus involvement. Being an aviation mechanic has taught me the skills to see the little things that make a big impact. Thus, I hope I’m able to notice what small issues can be solved to make big impacts.

Ilyse Stein

I am running for office because I want to challenge myself, become more involved in my community, and learn what it truly means to serve others. I believe every student deserves to feel heard and represented, including those who may not always speak up. Through debate, I have developed an interest in hearing different perspectives, asking questions, and communicating ideas. I want to bring that same mindset to the student government. As a senator, I hope to listen to students, understand the issues that matter to them, and bring their concerns forward. I want to strengthen communication between students and student government and help create an environment where students feel comfortable sharing their ideas. I also hope to learn from the people around me, gain experience in public service, and make a meaningful contribution to my university community. I am eager to listen, learn, and represent students to the best of my ability.

"Why am I running for office? What do I want to accomplish while in office? Any prior
experience?"

CANDIDATES WERE ASKED TO RESPOND TO THIS PROMPT:

Madison Wun

I am running for office as a continuation of my dedication to civic engagement, public service, and community leadership.

While in office, I hope to fulfill an integral role that advocates for community wellness and participates in shaping university policies. I aim to be an active participant in the democratic process necessary to hear students out and advocate for their wants.

My prior experience is in addressing constituent concerns, fostering community through leadership, and from my time as a high school session intern for the Hawaii State Senate.

Logan Domingo

My name is Logan Domingo and running for the treasurer role. I am currently a senior studying finance at the Shidler College of Business. I have similar experience as treasurer for the Leeward ASUH back in 2023. I long to be more involved with my college community again. My hobbies would be either reading manga and the Korean equivalent, studying financial markets and solutions, or doing martial arts. I often like to invest in the stock market, looking at growing companies or startups because they either make the most money or lose it all trying to create something new. If anyone is interested in learning more about finance, I would recommend joining or attending some of the open events that the Financial Management Association will
offer. Not only as ASUH Treasurer, but as a board member of FMA I plan to incorporate more financial workshops while I am in executive roles for this school. I want us as a community, and a college, to grow our financial literacy in economic times like these. I envision an economic boom from everyone’s growing expertise and I look forward to what we can accomplish in the future. My goal is to pave a path forward and help those who are lost. Mahalo.
