To name a few, Gawde and McDonald highlighted their mission to be a bridge between students and administrators, Rutledge said her goal was to be a friend to the entire student body and Wilson pledged to work on reinstating the senior shack.

Election results were announced during the last period. Krizner, Wilson, Hunkapiller, Gawde and McDonald were elected.

“I was so happy. I really didn't think I was going to win,” Hunkapiller said. “I texted my mom, and she was really happy, it was really sweet. I was very excited.”
