Sure, Ubyssey News has important information about candidates running for VP external. They get a nice photo, they get a big fancy profile and they get to talk about their platform. But do the candidates have good opinions? Do they drink coffee? Do they know the capital of Belarus? I asked them some of these hard-hitting questions to find out the real important information about the people running to represent you.
