Nicholas Taylor
Hi, my name is Nicholas Taylor, and I am a Sophomore Marketing Major. I am currently running for ASLMU Senator for the 2025-2026 academic school year. This past school year, I held the position of ASLMU Senator, and I am looking forward to seek reelection. Through this position, I advocated for marginalized communities, senate transparency, more actionable resolutions, and more accessibility at the Student Psychological Services (SPS) Department. I am happy to announce that in working with SPS, my resolution that called for an online appointment portal, and shorter waiting times accessing SPS, has been fulfilled! Furthermore, I was the marketing chair for McKay Hall RHA my freshmen year. I worked with the McKay Hall community to advertise and put on events based on what the residents wanted to see. Through my on-campus job working for the OƯice of Black Student Services as a programming assistant, I understand firsthand on what it takes to listen to the community on what concerns they have and what they want to see. Recently, I was nominated to the TOMODACHI Inouye Scholars Program. In this program, we went on a leadership and cultural exchange trip to Japan during Spring Break. During my time there, my values of building community, and doing more for others than yourself were really reinforced. Being a Senator means being a representative of the student body. The job requires you to listen and help people other than yourself. From this trip, I plan to bring everything I learned and experienced from that trip back to LMU and implement them if I get reelected. During my first term, many of my peers wondered what Senate did for them. This year I plan on getting Senates name out there, so more students can get involved with ASLMU Senate. The more that people know about the ASLMU Senate, the more engagement we get with students in ASLMU government functions. Through this involvement will come greater change and a new face to Senate can become possible! I plan to do this through working with the next ASLMU Chief Communications OƯicer to create a Senate Instagram to ensure the community stays up to date on senate. Additionally, I plan on making Senate meetings recorded and/or live streamed so students can watch even if they missed a meeting. We must meet students where they are, and I believe implementing these measures will do just that.

I’m not tired of all the aspects in which our school could be improved; I’m tired of people constantly complaining and doing nothing about it. If you want to complain yet not make an effort to make a change, I have no hate towards you. I have always been that person. I never had that go-getter personality. I always complained because it was easy. I’m done with easy. If I were voted into office I will make a change in this school because I’m done with sitting and complaining. I want to make people happy and become the person they turn to when problems need solutions. It will take time and money for solutions, but every problem has one and I’m driven to find them. I don’t think it’s crazy to say that while our school is incredible, it has many areas that need to be improved. Being a freshman at LMU, I have talked so so many people about this school, so I know what everyone wants. I am committed as they come. When I put my focus into a task, I follow through with it every time. Giving up is simply not an option because I will only feel satisfied having tried my absolute hardest. The health and wellbeing of the students at this school is my highest priority, as they are the friends and peers of mine. I want them to feel better each and every day here so we all can continue to have a wonderful experience at LMU. My name is Fisher Jenkins and I want your vote. Please, if you want a change in this school, I am the one to represent you.
Emily Hernandez
Marketing Major, & Expected Graduation Year is 2028
I was deeply involved in ASB during high school and served as Junior Class President, as well as Executive Associated Student Body President during my senior year. As President, I learned to oversee different departments as the head of a team but also to embed myself within that team and offer my assistance & support wherever it was needed. Most of all, I learned the value of my servant leadership approach and I got to observe the ways in which I used it to work with everyone around me. As President, I held daily meetings, planned spirited events, and kept track of every smaller department and team within ASB. My biggest personal accomplishment is definitely attending LMU. I am a first-generation college student born to immigrant Mexican parents and they have both sacrificed so much for me to be here and I do not plan on wasting this immense opportunity. I plan to make my family proud, but most of all, I plan to make myself proud by being a voice for others on campus! Professionally, I would definitely say taking over the RHA Mckay Marketing position this semester has been a big accomplishment of mine! I have loved to help create content and create an online presence for my amazing building! In terms of specific experience, I have already sat in on one senate meeting in the past and I believe I have a strong sense of what is expected of me as a senator. I am ready to work hard and create resolutions that leave a meaningful impact on our student body! I am involved on campus in LSU, as well as Marians Service Organization, RHA McKay, and Sigma Lambda Gamma Sorority. In my own community, I am involved in The Association of Catholic Student Councils and volunteer for them every summer! A current issue on campus, and in our world at the moment, is the censorship of free speech. On our own campus we have seen the TPM Policy take shape in a way that attempts to censor our students and their voices. As a member of the ASLMU Senate, I would advocate for reforming the Time, Place, and Manner policy to make sure it respects students’ rights to free expression while ensuring that our campus remains a safe and inclusive place for all students.

Dear LMU Community, My name is Brandon Molina, and I am pleased to announce my candidacy for the position of Senator at Large for the 2025/2026 academic year. As a member of the Class of 2027 majoring in Journalism, I have devoted myself to enhancing student life and engagement through a variety of roles and experiences. My involvement in campus organizations has been extensive. As the Director of Operations for the Music Industry Student Organization, a DJ for KLMU Online Radio, and a student worker in the Information Commons, I have gained significant insights into the needs and aspirations of our student body. Furthermore, my external roles as Chief Events Officer for the Youth Neuropsychology Society, UCLA YSCA, and Love is Respect have provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the importance of inclusivity and community spirit in fostering student mental well-being. I am committed to creating a vibrant campus environment by promoting increased office hours for ASLMU, facilitating accessible Senate meetings, organizing mental health support events, coordinating entertainment and art showcases, developing career networking events, and implementing more sustainable environmental practices. With my leadership experience and passion for serving my peers, I am eager to contribute fresh ideas and a dedicated voice to ASLMU. Together, we have the opportunity to make LMU a more welcoming and engaging community for all. I appreciate your support and look forward to the possibility of serving as your next Senator at Large. Thank you for your consideration.

Class of 2028 | Film and Television Production Major
Leadership is not a title, it's a temperament. I’m Rishabh Singh Singhvi, and I’m running for ASLMU Senate not just to fill a seat, but to bring fire, force, and focus to student representation. Before stepping into the heart of Loyola Marymount University, I carried responsibility on my shoulders back home, serving in my school’s central student body where leadership wasn’t symbolic, it was actionable. From driving student policy changes to organizing inter school initiatives, I learned early that decisions aren’t made, they’re built, battled for, and boldly executed. I’ve led from the front, literally and financially. My independently spearheaded crowdfunding campaign raised over ₹600,000 INR, bringing people together through vision and trust. That’s not just leadership, it's results. Professionally, I’ve gained real-world experience through internships across dynamic media and entertainment environments, where deadlines are tight, stakes are high, and only precision leads to excellence. These experiences aren’t résumé checkboxes, they’re fuel for action. I know how to communicate, advocate, and execute ideas that matter. At LMU, I’m actively involved with Student Affairs and engaged with the Production Sound Department within SFTV, constantly navigating both student concerns and academic structures. I’ve seen firsthand what works and what doesn’t. As your Senator, I won’t just blend into meetings, I will advocate for more responsive funding opportunities for student-led events and orgs that deserve support. I’ll work to amplify creative and academic collaboration across departments, especially for students juggling multiple passions. I will stand up for student workers, and I’ll push for real flexibility and academic support during intense weeks like midterm and finals because we all know stress doesn’t wait for office hours. If you want a senator who just checks boxes I’m not your candidate. But if you want a senator who will drive reform and fight unapologetically for you, I’m already here. Let’s move beyond conversation. And, let’s make change non-negotiable. Vote for Rishabh Singh Singhvi. Not just a name, an action plan.
