After a grueling student election season, we have a winner.Julie Bindelglass narrowly defeated Nick Polk with 51.87 percent of the vote in yesterday's run-off election. The results will soon be certified by the Joint Elections Committee.
Bindelglass is a sophomore and is a current CCAS senator and chair of the finance committee. She is involved on campus with Campaign GW, Balance: The GW Ballet Group, and Chi Omega.
Kyle Boyer, the candidate for SA president who received the most votes in the general election, was removed from the ballot this week after the student court ruled that the JEC acted within its power to remove Boyer from the ballot after campaign finance reporting violations.
Current SA President Vishal Aswani said in a statement, "I want to congratulate both Julie and Nick on a hard fought and successful run-off election. With that in mind, I personally want to congratulate Julie Bindelglass for her election tonight. I am confident in the work that she will be able to do as my successor this upcoming year."
Aswani said that the transition process will begin on Monday.
