Platform
One of the biggest tasks we want to take on in our Vandal community is the revival of “Vandal Taxi.” This service would reduce risk, improve the connection between students and the city of Moscow and it would come back without the funding issues that lead to its original downfall. We have already initiated conversations with the City of Moscow and have a solution to reallocating funds within ASUI in order to make this possible. Vandal Taxi would be available on the weekends to promote safe and frequent travel for students who enjoy getting out into the community. One thing we hold in high regards is efficiency in the way ASUI operates. We will address these essentials by reevaluating programs within ASUI that will save money for the students that can be efficiently used elsewhere. Transparency has improved significantly this year. Austin has worked in ASUI this year and brought back Waffle Wednesday. We want to continue to make sure ASUI frequently has free events that are available for students to voice their concerns on issues facing campus. These are just a few ideas we bring to the table to improve the student experience. Go Vandals!

About Us
We are both serving as ASUI Senators; Rachael is currently the Senate President Pro-Tempore. We have worked together on encouraging instructors to post grades on BbLearn and on redistricting the ASUI Senate by college. We are very passionate about and dedicated to our service to students on and off campus. Our efforts as senators have been focused around improving the representation of all student voices and we will continue that effort as president and vice president.
