John Stefanski and Lizzie Litzow, president and vice-presidential candidates for The Student Voice Party, won 60 percent of the vote in the Miami University student body general election, defeating #Revolution Party candidates Colten Kidwell and Molly Kenney.
Vice President of Campus Activities candidate E.J. Corporan of the Make it Your Miami Party will join Stefanski and Litzow on Associated Student Government's Executive Cabinet after winning 55 percent of the vote to defeat Student Voice Party candidate Jake Westfall.
A total of 3,327 students voted in the general election compared to 3,642 students who voted in the primary election, according to Student Body Vice President Matt Frazier.
"It was a little bit less than the primaries and that was disappointing," Frazier said.
Stefanski said he was excited to hear he and Litzow won.
"It's great to see that all of our hard work has paid off and that people agree with what we ran on and how we ran our campaign," Stefanski said.
Corporan said, like Stefanski, he was also excited to hear he won.
"I don't think I've ever been more happy," Corporan said.
Corporan said Westfall did a great job in his campaign.
"I'm really proud of what he did too and I want him to know that," Corporan said.
According to Stefanski, the next step for he, Litzow and fellow running mate Mike Trivelli is to begin transitioning into their positions.

Stefanski said he would start putting his platform ideas into action.
"We'll start working collaboratively with [Student Body President Nick] Huber on some pieces and we want to work with him on the 10 issues that we ran on in the next couple of weeks," Stefanski said.
Corporan said he will also begin the transition process.
"The next step is to start doing transitions, putting together the next executive board for [Campus Activities Council] and start to make that organization even better than it was this year," Corporan said.
