STUDENTS BLOW OFF USG: Voter turnout dropped from 958 to 579

Daniel Stroie, a sophomore, defeated sitting student government rep Thomas Roemer by nine votes to become USG’s next Vice President of Finance, sources said Friday night.

TJ Strazzeri, a freshman, defeated Eugene Kim and was elected Vice President of Communications.

Of the nine executive board positions, only these two were contested races this year.

Fordham Daily endorsed Strazzeri earlier this week.

579 students participated in this year’s election — down from 958 last year, and 701 the year before, according to school voting statistics from OSL&CD.

Five senate seats remain unfilled.

Juniors Ashley Domagola and Nicholas Sawicki ran unopposed and will become USG’s next executive president and executive vice president, respectively. They earned 477 of the total 579 votes cast.
