2025-2026 ASMSU Candidates

Bio: Howdy Bobcats! We are Lenny Triem and Finn Growney, and we are excited to represent YOU as your ASMSU executives! Raised in Helena, Lenny is studying Microbiology and Music with minors in Data Science and Biochemistry. As an ASMSU Senator on Finance and Legislative Committees, he's worked to ensure effective allocation of student fee dollars and direct the priorities of ASMSU's lobbyist to champion student interests at the state legislature. He's also worked to build strong relationships between ASMSU and campus partners through his roles on the university's Research and Undergraduate Research Councils and as a liaison to The Exponent. As a previous Hall Council President of Hannon-Quads and the Julia Martin Apartments, he improved the Hannon Gym’s equipment and worked to facilitate major events like QuadStock. Outside of classes and student government, Lenny has spent much of his time as a student researcher on campus and at the NIH. On the weekends, you can find him hiking, running, or playing the cello. Finn is from Colorado Springs and is studying Financial Engineering and Industrial Engineering. He serves as an At-Large Senator for ASMSU, aids funding requests on the Finance Board, and is the student voice as a liaison to the Leadership Institute and University Facilities Planning Board. As President of the Residence Hall Association, Finn leads initiatives to enhance the student living experience for the more than 4,500 students living on campus. He is active in his fraternity, Sigma Phi Epsilon, serving on the programming committee, and works as an Honors Ambassador for the Honors College, helping foster academic excellence and engagement. Outside school, you can find Finn fishing, shredding the slopes at Bridger, or listening to some classics at the Bozeman Symphony!

Platform: We believe in the power of culture, communication, and community to support a stronger MSU. These foundational pillars drive our mission to make student life more accessible, affordable, and connected. For instance, we will refine and streamline Rolling, VIM, and Club Sports funding to ensure that student organizations, club sports, and Greek life can access financial resources without unnecessary hurdles. Student fees directly fund the organizations and activities that make our campus thrive, and because those fees come from students, we believe the funding process should be clear, fair, and easy to navigate. A better funding system doesn’t just make things easier—it strengthens leadership, encourages collaboration, and supports long-term growth within our student community. Beyond student organization funding, affordability is a growing challenge for everyone. Amid rising costs, a central priority of our administration will be to work directly with local government to pursue housing policies that prioritize affordability. We're also dedicated to strengthening ASMSU’s relationships with partner organizations to better advocate for student interests. Namely, we’ll work with the Streamline Bus service to create a seasonal bus route to and from the airport during holiday breaks, alleviating significant costs and hassle for traveling students. While we’re excited to bring you these initiatives, it is far more important for us to know what you want us to do. To ensure every voice is heard and unique needs are met, we will establish a liaisonship program to engage passionate individuals from a diverse range of student groups, such as student-athletes, Greek life, and first-generation students. Through collective effort and shared purpose, we can devise effective solutions to students’ most pressing needs. We will advance these student priorities beyond campus, advocating at local and state levels to drive change. By listening, collaborating, and engaging, we can build a campus that works for everyone. Let’s make it happen!

Bio: Hey Cats! My name is Taylor Bookwalter, and I am excited to run for your ASMSU President. I am a fourth-year student in the Hospitality Management program with a minor in Hispanic Studies, and I am also pursuing a leadership certificate. Currently, I serve as the ASMSU Senate Speaker Pro Tempore, where I’ve had the privilege of chairing the RSO Funding Board and the ASMSU Finance Board, as well as advocating for important legislation on the Senate floor. Throughout my time with ASMSU, I’ve been involved in a variety of projects and task forces, and I’ve learned invaluable lessons that I plan to use to continue improving our university. Outside of my work with ASMSU, I hold a full-time job off-campus and launched my own business last year, giving me a diverse range of experiences that helped shape my approach to leadership and problem-solving. I have a wide range of passions, and I’d love the opportunity to connect with all of you and collaborate on them. Leading others is something that truly drives me, and nothing is more fulfilling for me than advocating for those I have the privilege to serve. I’m ready to take my experience and passion for leadership to the next level as your ASMSU President.

My name is Micah James, and I am a Sophmore in the Computer Science and Graphic Design program. In my years at MSU, I have joined SigmaPhiEpsilon, as well as joining the SpiritSquad. I currently work at a local restaraunt just off of campus, and am an orientation leader for MSU.

Platform: Together, our mission is to create a campus experience that truly reflects the needs and priorities of our peers and constituents. We believe in a university experience that is accessible, supportive, and affordable for all. To achieve this goal, we will increase the accessibility of ASMSU officials and resources, make a school, work, and life balance more achievable for students, and reduce the financial burden of your education. ASMSU is here to serve YOU, and that means it needs to be easy to access, engage with, and benefit from. We will create more engagement and Q&A opportunities for students to take advantage of so that we are representing each of you to the best of our abilities. We all know how hard it can be to balance coursework, jobs, extracurriculars, and personal lives; many of us are juggling multiple responsibilities, and it can feel overwhelming. We are committed to fostering a more supportive environment that helps students balance their dynamic lives. To do this, we will advocate for policies that provide more class types, semester wellness days, and work alongside our dedicated university professional staff to set guidelines that work with and for students. The rising costs of education are a major challenge for many students, and we need to do everything we can to alleviate the financial burden. We will push for increased transparency around tuition and fee structures, ensuring students understand where their money is going and advocate for more favorable destinations should change need to occur. Affordability doesn’t just mean increasing transparency but also increasing access to scholarships, grants, and other financial aid programs. We will gather our greater MSU community to make sure that if there is an opportunity for students, it is being presented to them. Together, we will build a university experience that is not only brighter but more equitable and sustainable for all. We encourage you to vote for leadership that prioritizes YOU. Thank you and Go Cats Go!

Bio: My name is Kate Johnson, and I’m a freshman majoring in Microbiology with a minor in Genetics here at MSU. Over the past year, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to serve as an at-large senator, proudly representing MSU students. In this role, I’ve participated in numerous community service events, collaborated with fellow senators to organize impactful initiatives like Rise and Reclaim, and served on the finance board along with several liaison positions. Now, I’m excited to take the next step and run for a position in the College of Agriculture to continue amplifying student voices, supporting meaningful projects, and building a stronger, more connected campus community. Let's make a difference together!

Platform: As I run for the College of Agriculture senate position, my platform is centered around three main goals: empowering others, building community, and supporting success through collaboration. I want to amplify student voices by creating more opportunities for open communication. Through listening sessions, feedback forms, and community forums, not only are on-campus student voices heard, but every Bobcat feels valued and represented. I aim to strengthen a more inclusive campus community by supporting events and initiatives that bring students together across different backgrounds and interests. I will work alongside student groups and university departments to develop resources and initiatives that support students' success, whether that is academic, professional, or personal. These goals are not just ideas, they are a reflection of how I lead, with humility, trust, and service. With your support, I will continue to lead in a way that empowers both ASMSU and the University as a whole. Go Cats!

Bio: My name is Mackenzie Cysewski and I'm a senior in Microbiology. I have been an At-Large senator since October 2024. I have also served as a senator in RHA for 2 years. I have and will be a strong voice for students.

Platform: My goals are to inform students on how to get involved, increase visibility of services like CatTracks and CatCab, and increase accessibility to menstrual products on campus.

Bio: I am Rojelio Carlos Alonso, and I am a freshman studying Biotechnology with Plant Systems. With the assistance of the MSU Hilleman Program, the Horatio Alger Scholarship, and the Greater Ravalli Foundation Scholarship, among others, I am able to advance my goal of finding a treatment for insulinoma in ferrets. I come from Woodburn, Oregon, and originally came to Montana in search of new beginnings with my mother. However, I have since separated from her, but still remain at MSU due to its exceptional programs and its vast research opportunities. I have experienced most walks of life, such as homelessness and abuse. But still, I remain. I endure because I have seen the kindness and open arms of the people. I push through because tomorrow is another day. During my senior year at Darby High School, I was Vice-President of the student body. I was also part of other programs, such as SkillsUSA, and earned bronze in prepared speech during a state competition. I move onto MSU with the similar desire to be in some form of leadership, as I aim to be the voice and hand of the people. I am no stranger to hardship nor to labor, and I will help make tomorrow a better day.

Platform: Make the people know they are heard. Make the people know that they are not alone. Make the people know they matter. Make the people know that tomorrow will be a better day. I will take the people in with open arms, no matter who they are, and make them heard.

Bio: I’m Gavin Thorson, a Chemistry student at MSU with minors in Economics and Global Studies. Beyond the classroom, I’m actively involved in research, focusing on chemical synthesis and its real-world applications. My leadership experience spans multiple areas of campus life. As Director of the Honors Presents Lecture Series, I helped bring distinguished speakers to MSU, including efforts to host renowned author Isabel Allende. I’ve also worked to foster cultural dialogue, co-hosting discussions such as a moderated event with poet Javier Zamora. Additionally, I’ve served as a Teaching Assistant for the departments of Chemistry & Biochemistry, Economics, and Modern Languages. If elected, I’ll advocate for student research opportunities, expand academic resources, and promote a more inclusive and intellectually vibrant campus. I look forward to the opportunity to represent and serve our student body.

Platform: I strive for ASMSU's increased visibility among the student population. It seems many MSU students, me included, don't have a clear picture of what student government does. As ASMSU senator, I'll make it my mission to increase students' awareness of and engagement with our student government.

Bio: My name is Marian Paulsen and I'm a sophmore in the Jake Jabs College of Business majoring in Business Management.  I'm currently a member of MT Alpha Pi Beta Phi and have advocated for children's literacy through our philanthropy and served as our Director of Academics.  I also work with the office of admissions as an AdvoCat! I can’t wait to get more involved with MSU, Go Cats!

Platform: I’d love to ensure that all students, regardless of their specific college, feel heard and have a voice in student government

Bio: Hello, my name is Jonah Metz and I am a freshman in the Honors College at MSU. I am currently undecided on my major, though I am pursuing a minor in Hispanic Studies, and continue to explore a variety of fields such as philosophy, political science, and community health. Since arriving in Bozeman, I have consistently volunteered within the community through the nonprofit Befrienders and the Office of Student Engagement, been an active member of Sigma Phi Epsilon serving as the community service/philanthropy chair for our chapter, and strive to maintain a high academic standing, earning a spot on the President’s List last semester. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy staying active and being outdoors!

Platform: If elected, I will work toward providing more accessible and impactful community service events for students, especially those living on campus and without transportation. I would also like to streamline the VIM Funding process to ensure that student organizations can easily access funding. Ultimately, I will be a strong advocate for community engagement by strengthening existing relationships to our community while building new connections within Bozeman and improve systems that will allow student organizations to thrive.

Bio: My name is Blake Lindemann, and I am a first year student in the Honors college, studying Political Science and Environmental Science. Outside of class, I have worked in organizing and activism both on and off campus, as well as hitting Bridger when I can. I have a passion for sustainability, and hope to bring my experience from managing solarization and conservation projects in my hometown of Kalispell, Montana to my role as a Senator here at MSU.

Platform: My platform is to promote choice, transparency and sustainability. For choice, I plan to open a dialogue to allow on-campus students to opt-out of a meal plan. I want to bring transparency both to the workings of university administration and as to how fees and tuition are being spent on campus. Finally, for sustainability I want to continue the work that the university at large, and ASMSU in particular, have done to decrease our carbon footprint such as the shuttle system or composting.

Bio: Hi! My name is Josey Blazer and I am a sophomore marketing student with a minor in political science. Last year, I had the privilege of serving as a senator representing the Jake Jabs college of business for a semester. I found the experience extremely rewarding and it encouraged me to join the ASMSU communications and outreach team. This past year, I had the opportunity to work as the ASMSU Assistant Director of Outreach and expanded my knowledge and love for all ASMSU programs. I can’t wait to give a voice to the wonderful students of Jabs!

Platform: As someone with food allergies, I am aware that there is limited access to tasty and affordable options for people with dietary restrictions. I also want to give more access to first generation students, and ensure that their needs are met. Finally, I want to work on creating a safe and sanitary space for breastfeeding students.

Bio:My name is Maksym Makarchuk, and I am a junior at Montana State University pursuing dual degrees in Computer Science (Professional) and Data Science with a minor in Mathematics through the Honors College. My academic journey is driven by a passion for research, problem-solving, and fostering a strong community within MSU. Over the past year, I have been actively involved in undergraduate research, working on topological data analysis under the guidance of faculty in the Gianforte School of Computing. My research has led to presentations at academic conferences and collaborations on peer-reviewed publications. Additionally, I have served as an undergraduate teaching assistant, supporting students in their coursework and reinforcing MSU’s commitment to academic excellence. I currently serve as the president of MSU’s chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), where I work to foster a collaborative environment for students interested in computing, organize technical workshops, and connect students with industry professionals. Beyond academics, I am an honors presenter, helping to organize and facilitate discussions on meaningful topics that encourage intellectual curiosity. In my free time, I enjoy participating in sports clubs, staying active, and engaging with MSU’s student community. I look forward to the opportunity to represent the College of Engineering and contribute to a strong, supportive, and innovative student environment at MSU.

Platform: As a candidate for the ASMSU Senate seat representing the College of Engineering, my goal is to expand research and hands-on learning opportunities, ensuring that students gain the experience needed to be competitive in their careers after graduation. I want to advocate for better access to resources, stronger support for students balancing academics with extracurriculars, and more opportunities for real-world applications of their coursework. This includes revising ideas for capstone projects to ensure they provide meaningful, real-world experience that prepares students for industry challenges. By working with ASMSU, I hope to create an environment where engineering students can thrive both academically and professionally.

Bio: Hey I'm Zac Stoneman a sophomore studying civil engineering at MSU. Through my time at MSU I have prioritized being active in my communities leading to participation in various engineering clubs such as EWB and ITE. I have also been an Orientation Leader for the College of Engineering and an ASMSU Senator. In addition I have served two terms on the executive team of my fraternity Sigma Phi Epsilon breaking records and motivating our chapter. This community involvement has made me aware of many of the issues our students face and motivated me to help solve them.

Platform: My biggest priority would be to improve student access to our community by working with parking services, Cat Tracks, Streamline, and other partners to provide transportation options to MSU community members. In addition I will promote high quality and frequent student involvement opportunities on campus as a student feeling like they belong is one of the biggest contributors to their academic and professional success. In addition to my priorities I will work for your priorities by being available and accessible on campus as well as prioritizing what you all care about. This year I have served briefly as your ASMSU College of Engineering Senator since March. In this time I have worked to promote students being able to access campus through finding transportation solutions. I have also worked to make sure our classrooms promote productive learning environments. I use the work I have done this year as a jumping off point to be able to achieve more next year to make our community better.

Bio: Hello! I’m Brynn Nelson, a freshman studying Mechanical Engineering from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In my spare time, I love climbing, hiking, fishing, and snowboarding. I chose MSU because of the incredible opportunities available to students, both indoors and outdoors. In high school, I was involved in Student Government and valued the community we fostered through our activities. As a Senate member, I’m excited to continue that passion by helping strengthen our campus community and advocating for the needs and goals of our fellow students.

Platform: My primary focus is to keep student cost low and affordable, increase inclusivity, and strengthen the outreach programs within the Bozeman community. Cost is often one of the biggest factors in education, and I am committed to ensuring that student voices are heard and prioritized in all budget discussions. As a woman in engineering, I understand how intimidating it can be to enter the program. I will support clubs like WIE to promote the success of female engineers and help implement more women-led study groups to ease the transition into the program and inspire more women to pursue engineering. I believe a strong community makes all the difference, and by enhancing our outreach programs, we can both give back to the city of Bozeman and boost student engagement. If given the opportunity to run, I’m excited to bring these ideas forward and work toward positive change on campus.

Bio: Hi Bobcats!! My name is Hannah Ferguson! I am a freshman majoring in biological and chemical engineering, minoring in genetics, and pursuing a pre-med track. I am passionately involved in an on-campus research lab focused on cell culture and genetics. I also work for University Housing as an RA in Yellowstone Hall and volunteer as an Honors Ambassador for the Honors College. I am an officer in the Pre-PA club and am actively involved in the Pre-Med Club and Oaks International. Outside of school, I like to spend my time in nature: hiking, mountain biking, skiing, backpacking, trail running, or simply enjoying a sunset. I am excited by the opportunity to represent my student body and assist in making beneficial changes on our campus. I love getting to know new people, so if you have any questions or comments, please reach out!!!

Platform: As a member and leader of various clubs across campus I understand the difficulties in accessing and putting to use club funding. I want to make your student funds more accessible and streamline the purchasing process for clubs and on-campus organizations. In addition to club funding initiatives I also am passionate about MSU students' active involvement in groundbreaking research. As a student researcher, I understand the value of these hands-on experiences and how they can not only impact current learning but also provide amazing opportunities in the future. I will continually advocate for the research focused culture at MSU and look for new ways to make research more accessible to students across our campus. Lastly, in collaboration with the advising teams at MSU I will give students more opportunities to understand their future goals and how they can be achieved throughout their undergraduate experience. I want to provide current students with a network of alumni and professional contacts that can advise how best to prepare for a career. I am focused on continuing MSU’s culture of excellence and exploration. This culture can be exemplified by aiding clubs in pursuing new opportunities through more accessible funding, by increasing the accessibility of research to MSU students, and by allowing students the opportunity to explore their interests with the advice of seasoned mentors. I have always felt that the faculty and staff of MSU care about MSU students' success and will I work to make my experience of individualized consideration and support universal for all MSU students.

Bio: My name is Lizzie Ferrell, and I am a freshman in the English writing program at MSU with a minor in political science. I’m from a small town in Colorado and grew up on a hobby farm. I’ve spent the last two years working in public school systems with students aged 0-11. This last year, I’ve enjoyed becoming acquainted with MSU and Bozeman. I was inspired to run for senate when I attended ASMSU’s Rotunda Day and spoke to our legislators about upcoming education bills. I have a strong voice and many ideas to share with the student body.

Platform:My goals as a senator are to represent the College of Letters and Science and give a voice to the English and Political Science programs. I want to give opportunities for more students to get involved in local politics. MSU has a strong student body that deserves a far-reaching voice. I also want to listen to the concerns of the individuals within the College of Letters and Science and bring those to the attention of the university. We all deserve to feel heard and supported!

Bio: Hello! My name is Jacob Harvey, and I am a current freshman majoring in Political Science. In my first year at MSU, I have enjoyed being heavily engaged in clubs like HR and Management, and Model United Nations. I have also been an active contributor of community service, volunteering on campus, around Bozeman, and at Bridger Bowl. As a part of your MSU Senate, I will serve as a strong representative, amplifying the voices of the students in the College of Letters and Science.

Platform: I am dedicated to representing students from all backgrounds by fostering a welcoming and approachable connection to their student government. I am open to all ideas and will ensure that students feel comfortable sharing their thoughts with me, which I will then bring to the Senate on their behalf. Having grown up in southwest Montana, I've always been a proud Bobcat fan. I admire the traditions and values that define MSU, and am thrilled to be a part of this vibrant community. As the University searches for a new President, it is crucial to safeguard these foundational aspects of MSU and ensure continuity—if the student body deems it appropriate. As a student representative, I will pay close attention to the actions of our University leaders and encourage them to make decisions that best serve the student population.

Bio: My name is Owen Adams, and I will be a sophomore this fall majoring in History with a focus on Science, Environment, Technology, and Society (SETS), and minoring in Latin American Studies. Over the past two years, I transitioned from working as an evening shift manager at a sandwich shop to a lifeguard during the summers. I also completed seven years with Boys Team Charity, an organization dedicated to fostering community service among young men. In my senior year I was elected as Senior Class President which offered new challenges to overcome. These experiences, along with my academic dedication, helped me earn a spot in the Honors College at MSU. During my first year at MSU, I joined the Men’s Club Soccer team, where I’ve found a supportive community that balances academic priorities with teamwork and success. Now, I aim to use my leadership and teamwork skills to support the College of Letters and Science and contribute to the growth and success of the MSU community.

Platform: My goals are to help amplify the voices of those who feel unheard on campus and to increase attendance and engagement at events. I aim to raise awareness about issues that sometimes get overlooked or ignored. This includes utilizing parent forums and addressing concerns that some students may feel too intimidated to voice publicly. One pressing issue I’d like to tackle is the need for greater inclusivity on campus. Everyone deserves to feel safe and welcome at MSU, and I believe fostering an inclusive environment is essential to achieving this. Additionally, I want to enhance our community by improving participation in MSU-related events. As a freshman, I’ve noticed that event attendance and enthusiasm can be inconsistent. By introducing incentives, creating intriguing events, and increasing promotional efforts, we can create a more vibrant and supportive campus culture. MSU is already incredible, and I want to help our community push itself to new heights. Together, we can make our university an even better place.

Bio: Hi, my name is Sadie Jenkins and I am a sophomore majoring in Political Science and minoring in English Writing. I am originally from Juneau, Alaska, and love all things outdoors! When not working or studying, you will most likely find me knee deep in powder at Bridger Bowl. During my time at MSU, I have worked as a Student Ambassador with Gold Standard, which has fueled my passion for helping other students find internship and employment opportunities. As an Honors College Student Fellow, I loved guiding Freshman in their Text and Critics experience. This summer, I am excited to be working as an Orientation Leader for incoming freshmen!

Platform: My primary goal as a Senator would be to expand undergraduate internship and job opportunities as well as, increasing alumni mentorship opportunities while advocating for tailored career development workshops and continued funding for student success programs.

Bio: Hi, I’m Molly. An honors pre-law student at Montana State University, as it stands I’m majoring in Political Science with minors in Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship and Finance In Bozeman, I am on the state board for College Democrats of Montana, working specifically with community engagemet ands I’m currently involved with volunteering with Bozeman Chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, American Indian/Alaska Native Student Success Services, Citizens Climate Lobby, and Gallatin High Schools Debate team. Prior to university, I graduated from Billings West High School with a 4.0 GPA and student engagement such as Track and Field (all state competitor), Speech and Debate (team captain and all state competitor), and the rotary club. I’m ranked top 1% (24th) nationally for Debate and public speaking, and have roughly 2,000+ hours of volunteering for various organizations. I bring an educated and well rounded perspective and I am confident I can represent and advocate for the voices of students within the Letters and Sciences college here at Montana State.

Bio: My name is Izzy Watson and I am a Sophomore studying Political Science and Philosophy. This semester I have been serving as the ASMSU Student Lobbyist, a role which has enabled me to be a voice for students in Helena, advocating for or against bills that directly target students’ ability to study, work, and live in Bozeman. I am greatly excited to apply what I have learned on the hill to ASMSU politics.

Platform: As your senator, I would work to ensure that ASMSU operates in a transparent and accessible manner. Transparency means clear communication about decisions, budgets, and policies, ensuring that students know how their money is spent and how their voices shape university policies. Accessibility means breaking down barriers to participation—whether that’s making meetings open and understandable, simplifying the process for students to bring forward concerns, or ensuring that all students, regardless of background or schedule, have avenues to engage. Politics should be accessible at every level, and nothing should stand in the way of students and the government they represent. Students should have ample opportunity to engage in government, and such engagement should be encouraged. Student government should be student driven. Beyond participation in government, accessibility also means ensuring that essential resources—like food security programs, mental health services, and financial assistance—are easy to find and use. No student should struggle to meet their basic needs while pursuing their education. I will work to streamline the processes that help students access support systems, reducing the stress that too often comes with college life.

Bio: My Name is Emelia Wood, and I am a Junior in the History program at MSU with a minor in Museum Studies. I was born in Billings, Montana and moved to Joliet, Montana for my Freshman year of high school. Some of my favorite pastimes include cooking, reading, arts and crafts, as well as enjoying the beautiful outdoor spaces that Bozeman and the surrounding area provide for us. Over the past year, I have interned at the Museum of the Rockies working in both the Paleo-Histology Lab and the Cultural History Collections. I am also an active member of the Phi Alpha Theta History Club and Honor Society, holding an officer position for the last academic year. I plan to advocate and provide a voice for the Humanities and Sciences within the College of Letters and Sciences in ASMSU.

Platform: My main goal is to advocate for the Humanities in ASMSU, a field of study that many feel is often overlooked as MSU is a majority STEM and Business school. Aspects of the Humanities are present in every field and major, though it may seem minuscule. I feel that representation of the Humanities is vital to the ecosystem of the University. Another goal of mine is to provide a point of view from a major that is often not represented. Providing outlook from a new point of view is refreshing to collaborative projects, student government included. Other goals of mine include making sure that new students within the College of Letters and Sciences are supported by their student government, promoting mental health and wellness throughout the university, and fostering a welcoming space for all students at MSU.
