ARMANDO × BEN
SG EXECUTIVE ALLIANCE 26-27
Our Mission
The University of Texas at Austin isn't just a school — it's a proving ground. It's where futures are forged, where leaders are tested, and where 50,000 Longhorns show up every day ready to change the world.
But right now, our Tower isn't shining as bright as it should. Students are navigating a system that too often feels like it's working against them — from mental health resources stretched thin, to academic policies that punish instead of empower, to a campus that sometimes forgets that belonging isn't a luxury. It's a right.
That's why we're running. Not for a title. Not for a résumé line. We're running because every Longhorn deserves a student government that fights as hard for them as they fight to be here.
Armando and Ben are building an Executive Alliance that treats student government like what it is: the most powerful platform students have to demand better. Nineteen proposals. Three pillars. One mission: make UT the university it promises to be.
“What Starts Here Changes the World.”

Armando
Student Body President
A proven leader who believes in action over words. Armando has spent his time at UT fighting for students in every room that matters — from the boardroom to the classroom. He's running for president because he knows what's at stake, and he's not afraid to demand better.
Ben
Student Body Vice President
Ben brings the energy, the strategy, and the grit. With deep experience in student organizations and campus advocacy, he's built coalitions that get things done. Together with Armando, he's ready to make student government mean something again.
