ASI election candidates James Ahumada, Jameson Nyeholt and Lucy Nguyen ran as a team for three executive positions and won on April 16.

James Ahumad ran alone for the position of ASI president and won with 100 percent of the vote. Lucy Nguyen told the Daily 49er that Ahumada "is very Greek-oriented."

Lucy Nguyen who describes herself as "very business and student organization oriented" won vice president with 64 percent of the vote.

Nyeholt is the new ASI treasurer and according to Nguyen's quote to the 49er is very involved with liberal arts and is very academic.

The elections this year turned controversial when the number of presidential candidates went from 5 to 1. The Daily 49er reported that Ahumad's four running-mates dropped out of the elections because of "a heavy workload or an upcoming graduation."

There was also a lack of involvement this year with only 12 percent of the student body initially participating, even when the elections were completely online.
