ASUO programs, which Lee
said is the biggest student gov
ernment of any in the country.
They took this taxing job,
they said, because they care
about education and bolievo
they can make a difference.
"I think you have to have the
passion and the desire for poli
tics," Fore said. "And to be
part of u solution."
One of her main concerns,
she said, is to make higher edu
cation accessible and affordable
for everyone. They plan to lob
by the Legislature for more
funding and to work for lower
tuition.

Fore said she believes they
have a good chance to achieve
their goals, but she realizes
there art! limits.
And Lee admits that there's a
lot of work to lie done that may
not be finished in one year.
