There are two John Cuenins.
Initially, the video sounds like an attack ad on a flip-flopper, but it's actually promoting the presidential candidate.
In it, one Cuenin wears a suit and tie. The other, a plaid button-down and TOMS shoes, but only around his apartment.
You may remember (either) Cuenin from last year's elections when he ran against former Vice President Katie Thompson, and lost. But since that election, he said he has matured.
"I didn't run as good of a campaign and it taught me how to run something like this and run an organization, because essentially your campaign is an organization," Cuenin said. "It also kind of let me take a step back and look at different parts of my life."
Two months after he lost the vice president race, Cuenin's obligations with the Boys Scouts of America ended. He had been a youth member of the Boy Scouts since he was seven and had to stop because he reached the age limit of 21.
After the Boy Scouts ended, Cuenin pledged the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. Last semester was Cuenin's first in the fraternity. He said he feels like his brothers are a family and they all value of integrity, academic excellence and leadership like he does.
Will being in a fraternity give Cuenin the edge he lacked last year?
Although he said some people are wary about the fact he joined last semester, Cuenin persists it wasn't a political decision.
"I'm not running this campaign to simply be elected by the Greeks," Cuenin said. "I'm running this campaign to be elected by students who actually feel the same way I do — which a lot of students do."
Cuenin describes himself as a candidate with a true vision for SG and for the student body. He's played the role of the outsider on this campaign, despite his experience, claiming he wants to revitalize the organization.
"I would just work my hardest to make it so that Student Government rose back to the prominence that it once held at this university," Cuenin said.
As president, Cuenin plans to attend as many student organization meetings as possible, and help coordinate their events to be successful. Cuenin also claims to be open to input from any student.
So whether you vote for Cuenin the politician with glasses and a vision, or Cuenin the fraternity brother who likes Cook-out and Mumford & Sons, he's promising that a vote for him is a vote for a guy who wants to improve Carolina.
