The student body of Slippery Rock University decided the path that student government would proceed on, and the “Rockscabinet” ticket won in a landslide, winning all executive board seats. The “Rockscabinet” ticket comprised of the following candidates: Connor Pavlikco, President; Owen Maharg, VP of DEIB; Chloe Ecklund, VP of Outreach; Emma Williams, VP for Academic & Student Affairs; Jaeda Johnston, VP for Finance; Emily Sennett, VP for Internal Affairs. Many candidates in the running for both Executive Board and Senate cross-filed for various other positions.
Executive Board
The ticket’s leader, Vice President of Campus Outreach Connor Pavlicko ran unopposed in his attempt at the presidency, winning 92.96% of the vote. 24 various write-ins were submitted, but as was the case for all write-ins, no one carried a majority of them.
The race for Vice President of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging was by far the closest of the election. Speaker of the Senate Owen Maharg narrowly clinched a plurality among two opponents, securing 45.5% of the vote. Diana Ouro Koura came in second place, receiving 34.49% of the vote, while International Senator Heer Zaveri received 17.1% of the vote. 10 write-in votes were recorded.
Education Senators Chloe Ecklund and Emma Williams both ran unopposed for their positions with miniscule write-in opposition. Senator Ecklund won 96.15% of the vote for the position of Vice President of Outreach with 13 write-ins, while Senator Williams won 95.88% of the vote for the position of Vice President for Academic & Student Affairs with 14 write-ins.
Incumbency proved to be a beneficial factor for candidates, as both Vice President for Finance Jaeda Johnston and Vice President for Internal Affairs Emily Sennett both easily won reelection. Johnston received 96.48% of the vote, the highest of any candidate running. The race to determine who will be the Vice President for Internal Affairs was closer, but incumbent Vice President Sennett won comfortably, winning 72.06% of the vote, while Commuter Senator Timothy Young received 24.41% of the vote. 12 write-ins were recorded for both races.
Senate
In the SRSGA Senate, many familiar faces returned to their positions after being reelected. Each position had various seats to fill, from as many as eight for the At-Large Senator position to only one for the International Senator position.
The most contested Senate race was by far the At-Large position, with 12 people filing to run for the position. Incumbent Senators Thomas Feilino and Benjamin Mathie won reelection while incumbent Senators Adegbulu, Nees, and Starkey lost to challengers. Senator Adegbulu was able to secure a victory as a College of Health Professions Senator while Senators Nees and Starkey won positions as College of Engineering and Science Senators.
Incumbents also proved successful in Senate races as most Senators who filed for reelection were victorious. The only incumbent Senators to lose their positions who refiled were Education Senators Ecklund, Maharg, and Williams, who were all simultaneously elected to the Executive Board.
Winners will be sworn in at the Monday, May 5 SRSGA formal meeting and will each serve a term of one-year.
Full detailed results of the election can be found below from data acquired from SRSGA Advisor Patrick Beswick.
