Gabriel Alfaro

Dani Bernal Kim, a third-year student studying legal studies and interdisciplinary studies, is running for ASUC Senate. 

Junior transfer Yasamin Hatefi is running for ASUC Senate with the Elevate Cal coalition on a platform of increasing transfer student representation.

Erupting in a mix of emotions across different countries, independent candidates won the majority of ASUC Senate seats for the second consecutive year, as announced during Saturday’s virtual tabulations ceremony.

Gabriel Alfaro is well-poised to continue the work Valerie Johnson, current transfer representative, has done to advocate on behalf of transfer students.

Running to become the second transfer representative in ASUC history, Student Action candidate Jake Mehari dropped out of the race.

Elevate Cal, a newly formed coalition, announced its candidates for several ASUC positions including ASUC president and transfer representative.

Four campaign finance reports were denied at the annual ASUC Elections Council Campaign Finance Committee meeting Wednesday. The issues that led to the denials ranged from clerical errors to discrepancies between campaign expenditures and revenues reported.

Campus junior and transfer student Gabriel Alfaro hopes to be a pillar for positive change on campus as an independent ASUC Senate candidate.

Throughout the ASUC election season, candidates have run their campaigns with personal contributions, donations or without any funding.
