20 elected for SGA senate Positions

University students chose 20 senators in last week's Student Government Association elections.

Voters elected eight candidates to multiple positions, forcing the candidates to choose their preferred posts. A single seat in the College of Engineering and Computer Sciences is currently undecided due to a tie.

The University's Palestine campus remains unrepresented, with no students applying for the two vacant seats.  Longview is left with one senator after Mary Bishop, a write-in candidate elected to a second seat, declined her appointment.
