Jacob Ludwig and Jaden Ahlrichs won the Student Government presidential election Friday evening.

Ludwig, a senior double majoring in economics and political science, remarked on the intensity of his campaign.

“[Campaigning] was definitely stressful,” said Ludwig. “Jaden and I visited over 70 student organizations, we put in over 60 hours of tabling, so we put in a lot of time and effort into the campaign.”

Ludwig said even though campaigning may have been stressful, it was rewarding. He said he plans to begin on his campaign promises the moment he is inaugurated.

“Get ready. We have a lot planned, and we’re ambitious to do it. We’re not just going to sit around, so hold us accountable,” said Ahlrichs, a junior majoring in global resource systems.
