Following four days of voting from March 23-26, unofficial final results of the 2026 Associated Students elections, posted to Instagram March 26, show the YOUnify slate taking home all five executive positions.
These positions include president, executive vice president, VP of external relations, VP of financial affairs and VP of university affairs.
President: Milan Rawls
The role of the A.S. president is to act as a face for the student body, serving on the University Senate and other committees, as well as to nominate representatives for other student committees. The A.S. president also runs the A.S. Board of Directors meeting and brings SDSU student concerns to CSU system leaders.
Following her current term as executive vice president, Milan Rawls will step into her new role as 2026-2027 A.S. president. A third-year double majoring in business management and liberal studies (elementary education), Rawls currently serves on the Freedom of Expression Committee, as the A.S. College of Education representative and is involved in Kappa Delta sorority.
Despite criticism from her three fellow candidates during the March 19 debate, Rawls took home 37.6% of the vote, according to unofficial results.
Rawls’ key goals are more affordable housing and meal plans, as well as leveraging her student government experience to advocate for students at the CSU and state levels.
Executive Vice President: Jacie Foster
The A.S. executive VP helps the president carry out their mission by managing day-to-day operations, running the Campus Life Council and coordinating training for other A.S. leaders.
According to Thursday’s unofficial report, across four candidates, Jacie Foster was selected by 43.6% of students to be the next executive VP.
Foster, a third-year interdisciplinary studies major (journalism, political science and leadership), enters the role with previous student government experience as current A.S. Chief of Staff and VP of professional development for the Weber Honors College.
One of Foster’s goals is to increase registered student organizations (RSOs) involvement with A.S., particularly among cultural centers and organizations. In her candidate statement, she also wrote that she hopes to implement health-focused initiatives and advocate for transparent communications between campus police and the student body.
VP of External Relations: Scarlett Walker
The VP of external relations acts as communications coordinator to conduct outreach at SDSU, systemwide and state-wide, attending the CSU Board of Trustees meeting and running the A.S. External Relations Board meetings.
Third-year Scarlett Walker, a political science and criminal justice major, will enter the role with previous experience serving as A.S. chief justice on the Judicial Affairs Council. Walker plans to focus heavily on improving transparency with the Evolve student housing project, motivating students to vote and advocating for student housing quality and affordability.
VP of Financial Affairs: Eric Krog
The VP of financial affairs is responsible for managing A.S. finances by overseeing its $30 million budget, running the Financial Affairs Committee, coordinating funding and overseeing Aztecs Rock Hunger.
Third-year computer science and economics major Eric Krog was selected to be next year’s VP of financial affairs. Krog currently serves as the College of Sciences representative for A.S. and on the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee.
Krog hopes to modernize and simplify both the A.S. banking system and the RSO application process, as well as direct more funds towards research and career preparation services.
VP of University Affairs: Jhacob Blenman
The A.S. VP of university affairs works to implement academic programs based on student voices by acting as a student representative at the University Senate and running the University Council meetings.
With just two candidates for the role, third-year kinesiology major Jhacob Blenman took home 64.5% of the vote. Blenman is the only elected executive candidate without previous A.S. experience, but plans to leverage his experience in Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, the Student African American Brotherhood and the Black Kinesiology Organization.
Blenman’s key goals are to expand course selection and improve academic advising resources to ensure timely graduation.
Representative Roles
In addition to the five executive positions, students also got to vote on 16 representative positions during the A.S. elections that span from various commission representatives to representatives for SDSU’s eight colleges. All elected officials will begin their terms in May.
This year’s A.S. elections saw slightly lower voter turnout than last year, with 5,405 student voters making up 14.7% of SDSU’s student body population.
Final results are subject to approval on April 9.
