Name: Jeffrey DeGon
Position: Legislative Affairs
What do you want to accomplish?
“With the new governor and new budget cycle we could experience even more of a rise in tuition costs and, in my view, that is completely irresponsible and unacceptable. … I think if we get enough students involved that we can send a message to our state legislature that we need to find a different route. We can’t keep cutting higher [education] just for the sake of cutting. … Higher [education] is all we have to compete in the job force.”
Why did you decide to run?
“I really want to make a difference … and be really involved with Eastern.”
Name: Kelsy Watson

What do you want to accomplish?
“I think eastern Washington as a whole gets a little bit ignored from the west side and my ultimate goal is to hear all the concerns and opinion of the Eastern Eagles and get them heard.”
Why did you decide to run?
“I’ve always been involved in leadership roles. … That desire to get a leadership role that can really make a difference is why I decided to run.”
