Simone Bray won the office of Chief Justice for the 2012-2013 academic year against Joseph Sam Wednesday in the Spring Student Government Association runoff election.
Bray will succeed Maurlence Martin as Chief Justice earning approximately 55 percent of the vote (235 votes) against Sam (196).
“I want to say thank you. It was a long week for my campaign team. They worked really hard. My family supported me and I want to thank the Jaguar Nation who showed their support for me twice,” Bray said.
Bray looks to the fall to maintain an active judiciary.
“I am going to get some of the students’ problems solved. I am going to be really focused on making sure we have an active judiciary,” Bray said.
Six justice positions are left vacant to be filled in the Fall. An active judiciary would require eight justices (two from each class) and the Chief Justice.
“I have already started contacting class presidents to find some students who are going to be dedicated to the positions as justices for each class,” Bray said.
Bray will not be officially sworn into her position until the summer but, already has plans for her position.
“I plan on having an active judiciary, establish a more thorough grievance form that gets straight to the problem of the students and students can expect mock trials. I’m ready to work for our students,” Bray said.
Bray filled the last vacancy up for election but, there are fourteen open positions to be elected in the fall not including freshman positions to be elected in fall elections.
Fall 2012, AWS will be seeking a vice president, the senior class will need three senators and two justices, the junior class will need two senators and two justices and the sophomore class will need four senators and two justices.
