Notes

SMART and FUQ supported each other and campaigned together. The BEST slate and Roman Rivilis supported the Independent executive ticket of Min/Cano.

Historical Notes:

  • This is the first ASUCD election since Winter 2005 to have three slates running five or more candidates for Senate.
  • This is the first ASUCD election in over 10 years that someone has been elected to the Presidency without first being elected to the Senate. Carly Sandstrom was appointed to the Senate to fill a vacancy but this was the first time she ran for office in ASUCD.
  • This is the first ASUCD election in over 10 years where a female presidential candidate defeated a male presidential candidate. However, in both the previous cases of a female presidential candidate losing to a male presidential candidate, the female presidential candidate also had a female running mate.
  • This is the first ASUCD election since at least Winter 2006 that The California Aggie endorsed an executive ticket that did not end up winning the election.
