Letter to the Editor: Holt is most qualified candidate

I ask, I beg— and I plead of you — vote for Jonathan Holt in this week's Student Government presidential runoff.

Jonathan isn't one to brag about his accomplishments or his position as a leader on this campus, but I will.

Jonathan spends his very scarce free time giving tours to prospective tours as a University Ambassador because he loves it, not for a resume bullet point.

Jonathan helps me write legislation, not because I send him five emails about it the night before our meetings, but because he enjoys being the President Pro Tempore.

He's the real deal — no gimmicks, no written speeches, and no bottomless pit of campaign funds.

Some say that being a politician type matters when trying to be the face of a mammoth student body. I couldn't disagree more. Being a hardworking, compassionate and down-to-the-core-nice-person matters and that personality shines through in any setting.

I want to see a student body president who blends in with the rest of us but sticks out as a leader. Holt is the guy.
