President: Jessica Kim, 2027
Born in California and raised abroad in Singapore, Jessica is currently studying Political Science at Williams. During the academic year, she works as a student leader at the North Adams Public School district, peer tutors at the Writing Workshop, and announces for Williams’ varsity sports games. Long term, she’s interested in pursuing a career in national security and export control law. Having grown up abroad, she learned early on that civic engagement and voting are rights that should never be taken for granted, so she’s very excited to lead the EphVotes team this year!

Vice President: Wade Buchheit, 2026
Wade is a Political Science major with a concentration in Environmental Studies. Outside of EphVotes, he works as a teaching assistant at the Mount Greylock Regional School, is a captain of the ultimate frisbee team, and is the president of the mountain biking club. After graduating, he’s planning on going to law school to study environmental litigation. He first became interested in politics as a seven-year-old at an Obama campaign rally, which was exciting not only because Obama was there, but because it was the latest he’d ever stayed up.
