Students took to the polls Tuesday to select new leadership for the Student Government Association, electing Tim Long the new SGA president.
"I feel elated and honored that the students chose me for this job," Long said. "It's hard for me to put into words how I feel."
Long said he believed students had lost faith in the SGA and he hoped to restore it during his term. Long pointed out his prior service to the SGA and said his hard work had paid off.
"Everyone knows that when you work hard, you get a promotion," Long said. "I'm glad the students saw fit to give me that promotion."
Current SGA President Bryant Whaley was gracious in his defeat. "Congrats to Mr. long for running a good campaign," Whaley said. "The campaigns went well and the election went well and the students chose who they thought the best man was for the job."
Also elected was Ashley Cofield for Vice President of Organizational Affairs and Vice President of Student Activities Jacolby Parks who ran unopposed.
There will be a run-off election on Tuesday from noon til 5p.m. for the office of Vice President of Student Senate. The two candidates in that election are Charles Dixon III and Courtney Mitchell.
