The incumbent social officer, Sophie Jaggar, is the latest of those announcing her candidature for the upcoming ANUSA elections.

Convenor of the ANU Education Activism Network, Wren Somerville is the candidate for Education Officer. Current Environment Officer Grace Hill is running as an NUS delegate, and current GenRep Nicholas Carlton is running for a second term. 

Their platform is focused on a “more collaborative and ambitious social calendar”, as well as “fearless advocacy” in fighting for students’ rights.

Clark’s campaign is independent and officially politically unaligned, running on key themes of autonomy, transparency and democracy.

Harvey-Taylor plans to improve the functionality of ANUSA, communicate effectively with students, work with clubs and societies, encourage student participation in ANUSA and provide training for student representatives. 

The position, which has never been occupied by anyone other than the President of ANUSA, is a voting party on the ANU council, responsible for setting the strategic and fiscal direction of the University. 

Despite the ANUSA election not beginning for another seven weeks, two tickets have announced a ‘soft launch’ of their executive candidates this week.
