There’s an extra candidate running for Moorpark College’s Associated Students presidency this year compared to last year, according to Sharon Miller, director of student activities.

“Last year there was only two candidates running for A.S. president,” Miller said.

Here’s brief look at each of the three A.S. presidential candidates.

Teresita Rios, 20, political science major, has been attending Moorpark for two years.

Rios said her platforms include bringing healthier food options such as vegetarian and vegan options for on-campus students, making student organizations as well as student services more visible to students and having more campus events.

Rios said she’s not afraid to put pressure on the vice chancellor to deliver her message campaign, if she’s elected.

Javier Berjon de la Parra, a 21-year-old engineering major, is an international student from Mexico. He has been attending Moorpark for a year and a half.

Berjon de la Parra wants more food options for students, more research opportunities for honor students as well as having a similar event to Multicultural Day to happen in the fall semester.

Lawrence Kelly, 32, political science major, currently serves on the A.S. as director of constitution and rules.

Kelly also wants to bring healthier food options for students on campus just like Rios. But, he also wants to continue advocating for the AB 798 College Textbook Affordability Act of 2015 to ease textbook costs for students by encouraging faculty to adopt Open Educational Resources.

“Right now in the United States, the student debt is at 1.3 trillion dollars and I think any effort that we can make… to start mitigate that is really important,” said Kelley.

Kelley also wants to create a more civic-minded campus environment by creating an event called Civics Day on-campus. The event will invite political leaders such as representatives from local government to speak to students engage in political actions.
