Davis Rogers won the Associated Student Body presidential election yesterday, defeating Jessica Brouckaert with 57 percent of the vote.
“I literally can’t describe it,” Rogers said after the results were announced. “I don’t really know what to do right now except maybe spend the next five or six weeks of my life thanking everybody who came out to help me. I have a really cool group of friends who really just stepped up for me, and I couldn’t have done it without them.”
Rogers discussed his upcoming plans for his term in office.
“I want to hit the three things on my platform: Rebel Day, RebAlert and Rebel Ride,” he said. “Those are the three things I’m going to focus most on. There are a few other things I’ll be working on, and I’m open to suggestions, but for the most part it’s going to be those three.”
Runner-up Brouckaert congratulated Rogers on his election.
“I’m going to wake up tomorrow and keep working for this university because I love Ole Miss,” she said.
The runoff results were announced yesterday at 5:30 p.m. on the steps of the Student Union. Rogers and Brouckaert competed in the runoff after the initial election on Tuesday.
