After numerous debates and three long days of campaigning around UCF’s campus, Cait Zona and Jarell Jones have been elected the 2015 SGA President and Vice President.
The Cait/Jarell ticket running under the “Unleash Your Legacy” slogan defeated both the Brian/Alex ticket and the Stein/Barhamje ticket after receiving a whopping 63.74% of votes from UCF students.
Zagrocki and Bennett received 28.22% of the votes while Stein and Barhamje received 8.02%. The rest were write-in ballots.

In total, 7,510 students voted in the election year. Zona/Jones received over twice as many votes as Zagrocki/Bennett with a total of 4,704. Zagrocki/Bennett received 2,083 votes and Stein/Barhamje received 592.
Last year, only 6,124 students voted in the SGA presidential election.
Among Cait and Jarell’s most aspiring platform targets is advocating for video cameras and trash cans in parking garages/lots, lobbying for more textbook affordability, expanding tutoring resources and coordinating student organizations, agencies and SGA together to implement diversity initiatives.
