Abdul Malik Ford
My name is Abdul Malik Ford and running for the senator’s position to represent the College of Business and Economics. My goals include providing Black representation for the college of CBE, holding my peers accountable, reforming the AS structures that harm us students, and paving the way for those who come after me. Us Black and Brown students have been silenced and wronged for too long. We are not represented in our various colleges and that needs to change. #AMF4AS.

Howdy! I’m a 4th year student in Political Science and Business Administration. While studying at WWU I’ve been involved with student government, various clubs, committee work and local politics. However, in this position, my primary focus will be on advancing a Self-Operated Dining System (a dining system currently in place at WSU, UW, and Central). It’s an extraordinary fact that, by simply being a student at WWU, your money directly contributes to the prison-industrial complex. During these next few years, we must lay the groundwork to insure a Self-Operated Dining System becomes a reality at WWU!
