STATEMENT
Howdy Gauchos! I am ESMERALDA “ESME” QUINTERO-CUBILLAN (She/They) and I am running to be your EXTERNAL VICE-PRESIDENT of STATEWIDE-AFFAIRS! I’m a 4th-year transfer student studying political science, sociology, & environmental studies, the daughter of Puerto Rican (Taíno-Boríken) and Venezuelan (Guajiro) immigrants, and a proud first-gen grassroots activist!
In my 2 years at UCSB, I have advocated on behalf of ALL students. Whether it be in support of tuition reduction, increasing mental health resources/access, COVID-19 resources, and fighting for additional financial aid/support that's available to our students. I care deeply about equitably representing our student body and advocating for the needs of our campus community. When we advocate for the needs of our most marginalized students we as a campus and community all benefit!

ADVOCATE on behalf of our campus for additional financial aid, a safe return to campus, and an equitable distribution of in-person, hybrid, and online classes.

ENFORCE environmental ethics and responsibility.
TOGETHER we can come together and make a better, just, and equitable UC! Remember to vote ESME QUINTERO-CUBILLAN for EVPSA!!! If you have any questions or just want to get to know me, email me at esmeraldaquintero@ucsb.edu!
