Hey Bulldogs! My name is Blake Zante, and I am running to become your ASI President.

I am pursuing my undergraduate degree in political science with a minor in business. I am currently the executive vice president of ASI, a member of the Smittcamp Family Honors Program and an active member of the Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity where I served as president.

I firmly believe that people are stronger together and that helping each other empowers our Fresno State community.

As your ASI President, I will make it my mission to make students the priority. With looming tuition increases and widespread concerns about campus safety, many challenges lie ahead that face our student body that must be addressed. I want to strive to create a safe, inclusive environment for all Fresno State students.

While it is important to focus on the strengths of our differences, I believe that focusing on what unites us as Fresno State students is critical. I will fight to make every student feel valued and heard. I will strive to foster a campus community where students can have fun and feel comfortable voicing their opinion.

With my leadership experience, passion for Fresno State and determination, I believe that I can serve you as your ASI President.

Additionally, I am on a slate called “Students United.” Please vote for Cam Patterson for vice president of finance, Demi Wack for vice president of external affairs and Josh Dowell for senator at-large. I would be honored to have your vote on March 28-30.
