Why are you running in the ASUO Elections?

My name is Quadrian Gill (he/him), I’m a second-year Planning, Public Policy, and Management major with a minor in Ethics. I grew up here in Eugene and currently work as a research assistant on a houselessness policy and health project and serve as an ASUO intern. I am running for Senate Seat 7 with UO Student Power because I’m committed to making ASUO more accessible and responsive to students. As a member of the Contracts Finance Committee, I will advocate for funding services that directly enhance student life, such as free LTD transit, child care for student parents, and funding for student-led organizations.

As one of the most front facing parts of ASUO, how do you plan on making these interactions as positive as possible for students?

I will focus on building real connections with students by seeking out student interactions and welcoming feedback and criticism. Creating a space where concerns are heard and solutions are developed collaboratively. I understand that people want their voices to be heard and valued, and when we take the time to listen, we can make decisions that have the greatest impact.

Is there a particular ASUO funded service or organization (or multiple) that you are passionate about and hope to work with? Why?

I am passionate about services that directly support students' basic needs such as transportation, housing, and food security. I'm excited to continue to fund programs such as Child Care Services at Spencer View Housing and Duck Rides, while also pushing for potential new programs like tiered parking prices based on proximity to campus or subsidies for bike purchases.
