After Eric Guerra?s 180 campaign slate won three out of four executive positions in the 2002 Associated Students, Inc. elections Wednesday night, Guerra has begun making plans for mobilizing the state lobby body.

“It?s important that we mobilize Lobby Corps; it needs to be stronger,” Guerra said. “If we need real change to happen, then we need statewide change.”

Lobby Corps is a work team of ASI that deals directly with state and local legislative issues.

Guerra?s main priorities for Sacramento State are parking relief and class accessibility. He believes that ASI needs to tackle the parking problem immediately and resolve it before the fall semester begins.

“We need to get students involved with the Transportation Advisory Committee so they can be involved with the process and give the University input,” Guerra said.

He believes there will definitely be differences of opinion in his administration, especially since members of the 180 and Voice slates will both be in office.

“It doesn?t do any good to create conflict with members of the other slate who are in office with you,” Guerra said. “There will be differences in opinion, but if we spend the year fighting it will do nothing for the students or for my administration.”

Luke Wood from the Voice slate won executive vice president, while the 180 slate took the remaining executive positions: Peter Ucovich for vice president of finance and Crystal Chase, for vice president of university affairs.

Candidates from the Voice slate also six out nine director positions.

“This is the toughest thing I ever did,” Guerra said Wednesday night shortly after the results were announced. “All of my candidates were overqualified, but they helped create this opportunity for me.”

A night of cheers, noisemakers and tears culminated in the traditional dash to the Library Quad fountain, where the winners continued to celebrate.

Guerra won with 49 percent of the votes, and was followed by Howard Story with 33 percent and current vice president of finance Tom Hughes with 17 percent.

The position for ASI Director of Arts and Letters went to Christina Gutierrez. The Director of Business will be Jennifer Plescia, and the Director of Education position went to Michelle Pereira. The Director of Engineering and Computer Sciences will be Fahnmusa Jangaba and the Director of Health and Human Services will be Patrice Hill. Director of Social Science and Interdisciplinary Studies is Christina Andrade and the Director of Undeclared is Jessica Owen. The position for Postbaccalaureate Director went to Mohamed Hamada and University Union board positions went to Luke Wood and Molly Slayter.

The new administration will take office June 1.
