President Nominees:
Salvador Velazquez
Major: Business Administration
"My name is Salvador Velazquez, and I am running to be your next LMCAS President. Since my first year at Los Medanos College, I’ve proudly served in student government, starting as a Senator and now serving as Vice President since Spring 2024. Throughout my involvement, I’ve remained active and dedicated, from tabling events and creating agendas to stepping in as President when required. I’ve also chaired meetings and led initiatives, which shows my consistency and commitment as a student leader. If elected as President, my goal is to grow LMCAS into a full board of 25 dedicated student leaders who represent the diversity of our campus. I want to strengthen our presence and voice, making sure that every student feels seen, supported, and included. My goal is to foster a college environment with meaningful events, accessible resources, and real-world opportunities that will enhance your stay in LMC."
Vice President Nominees
Miguel A. Cortez
Major: Business Administration
"As your current delegate to the Student Senate for California Community Colleges (SSCCC) and a Business and Economics major, I am running for Vice President to ensure that student voices are heard at every level. I recently traveled to Washington D.C., where I met with legislative aides for our district's congressional representatives to advocate for increased financial literacy resources to students. My top priorities are making sure that LMCAS funds are spent on students, especially if uplifting marginalized communities through financial education and long term economic stability. I believe in the power of political advocacy and financial empowerment to create lasting change. With experience at the state and national level, I will continue pushing for policies that support and protect students. Together we can build a more inclusive and financially informed campus. Vote for experience and leadership that starts with action, that fights for equity and makes every dollar count for the students it serves."
Commissioner of Campus Events Nominees
Joaquin Sagun
Major: Business Administration
"I’m running for Commissioner for Campus Events because I believe in the power of community and celebration to bring people together. As a Student Senator, Student Life Ambassador, and Social Media Editor for Kapwa Club, I’ve helped coordinate and promote events that uplift underrepresented voices and build meaningful connections. I’ve also served as a Social Media Officer for two student organizations, where I created promotional content and collaborated on event planning and logistics. If elected, I will bring creative, inclusive, and engaging events to life. I want every student to feel represented and excited to participate in campus life. I’ll also encourage club involvement and co-host events that reflect the diversity of our student body. My goal is to make LMC events memorable and student-driven. "
