Please direct these questions to Ms. Banuelos.
1. When did you decide that the Meme reported in The Sunflower was inappropriate? Was it before or after you laughed at it?
2. Do you often tell students that their questions are stupid when you are under stress or otherwise tired? How often are you under stress to the extent that it affects your ability to function appropriately? Did you ever apologize to that student directly for your behavior?
3. When you were sitting on the hallway floor outside Dr. Bardo’s office, did you even think about how you would build a trusting relationship with him as SGA President?
4. What has been your role in We The Students? Are you attending their meetings? Are you part of their activities? Are you helping draft their written demands? Do you really have no confidence in Dr. Bardo and do you really want him to resign?
5. When confronted with political opposition, do you often deal with it one way publicly and then disparage your opponents privately?
6. What is your step by step plan to mend fences with Dr. Bardo? Tell us about another time where you offended someone in authority and were able to turn it around into a productive situation?
That should be good.

Also, in her January 26, 2017 Letter to the Editor in the Sunflower, Paige wrote the following:
“I will not sit by and watch as students continually get silenced. I will not allow for viewpoints to become nullified and ignored due to their content. I will stand firm. I will respect and value you. And I will represent you.”
Can you ask Paige how she has spoken out for the silencing of Taben Azad with his removal as SGA VP and Election Commissioner through the Temporary Conduct Suspension from Teri Hall? Is she standing firm for him? Or does his removal fit her need so this one is OK? How is she representing Taben so his viewpoints are not nullified and ignored?
Can you ask Paige how she has spoken out for the Transgender students when Andy Schlapp made the Heskett Center staff take down the Gender Neutral Bathroom and Shower sign in the space created for the safety and privacy of transgender and other students? How has she represented them and stood firm and respected and valued them?
This should be good.

Marche will do a good job. Be sure to ask Paige about her connections to Andy Schlapp and the current administration and how that will not create a conflict of interest if she is elected. Also ask her how she can declare there is no negative culture or culture of fear for minority students when she is not a member of a single minority category at WSU. Would be good to hear her experience with that.
