KnightNews.com is once again breaking news in the race for SGA president at UCF.
KnightNews.com received a press release early Wednesday morning from former Attorney General Nicholas Gurney and SGA Sen. and CRT Chairman Fernando Gonzales formally announcing their candidacy.
Gurney and Gonzales both earned reputations for fighting for more transparency and openness in how SGA spends student money. The team promises that you can “expert more” from them.
Below is full press release they sent to KnightNews.com:
GURNEY AND GONZALES DECLARATION ANNOUNCEMENT
Orlando, Florida – March 02, 2011
Today, I am very proud to announce my Candidacy for Student Body President along with friend and running-mate, Senator Fernando Gonzales. As we kick-off our campaign, we are excited to get down to business. Over the next few weeks, we want to hear from you: the UCF student body. One thing that often gets lost in elections is student input. But this year, things will be different.
We admit it — we don’t know everything.
That’s right.
However, we do know how to get the things you want done. Over the next few weeks, keep in mind what it means to have experience.
As fellow Knights and Your candidates, Fernando and I want to change the culture of SGA to better represent all of the students. With such a diverse student body, we know that you might not agree with us one-hundred percent, however, that does not mean we don’t want to hear from you. We understand that the best way to get things done is to work with one another.
Over the course of the campaign, Fernando and I will be working tirelessly to earn your vote. We earnestly hope that as the days pass, we can continue our conversation. If you see us on campus, stop us with questions or concerns.
As for myself, I hope that you will entrust me with the privilege of being your Student Body President. I want you to be able to EXPECT MORE from me, my cabinet, and the rest of your SGA. Thank you.

Be Loud. Be Proud. Go Knights.
Nicholas S. Gurney
