Gettin’ to know the Governor/Lt. Governor Candidates

By: Sean Downey, Devon Compton
CC sat down with SP candidates for Governor and Lt. Governor, Martin and Downey.
What Bills do you like this year?
Bert Martin: The Hannah Montana Bill, it was a fun bill to loosen the tension in the Senate.
PJ Downey: Ride-able Animals (House 236).
What do you like about being chair/in the Governors Cabinet?
BM: The chair is fun. It’s unbelievably gigantic in the Senate!
PJ: What’s not to like? (In the Governors Cabinet) We just hang-out and lobby. It’s really fun.
Has Ben Underwood given you any advice?
PJ: Do things your own way, don’t let other influences control you.
What can we expect from your campaign?
BM: Amazing Speeches, and something surprising.
Who are you supporting for other positions?
PJ: Ben Adams, Nikole Drummond, Morgan Smith, and Terry McAllister.
Who are you dancing with tonight?
BM & PJ: Everyone!!!
Their opponents also gave some info to the pressroom.
Tim Seery is a 2nd year who has been a Representative and Speaker of the House. His running mate, Stevie Short, is a 3rd year that’s been an Attorney for two years and a justice this year.
Seery and Short have big plans for if they’re elected. Seery hopes to restore decorum and support bills, while Short wants to help run the first year program by getting more first years to join, and trying to get all of them to stay for more years.
Tim is running because he loves the program, and wants it to expand into something even greater. Meanwhile, Stevie is running with him because she wants to step up and do more, and also because Tim needed a running mate in order to run.
Seery is a serious Democrat, wanting a clean energy economy and supporting his ideals as student representative on the State Board of Education. Short meanwhile, is a light-hearted Republican, wanting less deficit spending and being against abortion and gay marriage.
