“I’m overjoyed,” Wade said after seeing the results Thursday night, “but we’ve got a lot of work to do yet.”
Juniors Bob Bourgeois and running mate Lindsey Nelson came in second with 35.2 percent and senior Scott Olson and his running mate junior Dawn Snyder took third with 23.6 percent.
Student voter turnout declined from last year by 32.5 percent, with 1,231 votes cast in this election. President Adrian Klenz attributed the drop in turnout to the lack of referendums on the ballot, but said the turnout was better than he expected.
A full story on the election results will appear in Monday’s edition of The Spectator.
