Will Lauterbach

Institution: Virginia Commonwealth University 

Candidacy: Minority Leader

Bio: My name is Will Lauterbach, and I am proud to announce my intent to run for VGS Senate Minority Leader. I am a Senior at VCU for mathematics, a proud resident of Spotsylvania County, and the treasurer of VCU's club chapter of VGS. Many of you may recognize me from either the second inaugural VGS legislative session, where I introduced 6 amendments, or from spring regional conferences, where I served as VCU's constitutional Representative. 

Statement: As a math student, I value fairness, organization, and problem-solving, and I aim to bring those principles into the session as Minority Leader. As such, my legislative goals during the session are solely to ensure and maintain VGS as an institution while also guaranteeing that the Republican Party has an equal voice in VGS's future. I believe that effective leadership comes through mutual respect and shared perspectives towards a goal. As Minority Leader, I will strive to uphold my ideals of leadership and maintain an orderly, professional, and effective Republican caucus.
