FINAL NOMINATIONS/CANDIDATES
candidate statements
Every candidate in a competitive race had the opportunity to submit a statement. Members will receive a copy of printed candidate statements with their ballots, and the statements are published below.
The candidate must submit the copy in corrected, proofread form. The Union did not make any changes, including the correction of misspelling, grammar or typing errors. If the statement exceeds the length specified in the election guide, the part which exceeds the limit will be cut off even if the statement terminates mid-sentence.
Candidate statements for each office are sorted in alphabetical order by last name. If a candidate submitted translation of their statements, those translations are included in each file.
To view the submitted statements below:
Click the + sign next to each tab to see the list of statements for each office.
Then, click the candidate’s name to view their statement.
