Margaret Solomon and Sydnee Thy will serve as next year’s ASUC president and executive vice president respectively, marking the fifth year of ElevateCal holding both seats.

Selina Mendez secured the external affairs vice president seat and Varsha Torpunuri the transfer representative seat. Dylan Lucks and Reena Alsakaji both ran unopposed and will hold the academic affairs vice president and student advocate seats, respectively.

All three referendums on the undergraduate ballot passed.

The Save Free Student Press Initiative will raise the student fee that funds The Daily Californian from $6.50 to $8.50, increasing by 50 cents each year beginning in the 2028-29 school year. The S.T.R.O.N.G Act will move the transfer representative role into the executive branch of the ASUC for the 2027-28 school year. Students also voted to call for divestment from companies that produce military technology.

The G.A. Fee 2.0 did not pass due to insufficient voter turnout. Only 1,086 graduate students voted, while 2,513 votes were required to meet the turnout threshold.

After three runoff voting rounds, Solomon won the presidential seat.

“Honestly, it feels so amazing that I get to do what I always wanted to do for the students,” Solomon said. “I am so glad that the Cal community trusted in me.”

Solomon said she will represent the student measure to divest from military technology companies to campus administration. The measure won with 75% of the vote.

Sydnee Thy won narrowly, winning the final round of voting by 2%, with 51% of the vote.

“I am in complete disbelief,” Thy said. “I couldn’t have done this without not only my team, but everyone supporting me back home. There were so many times of doubt, but I knew I went into it with the best intentions and wanted to better our student body as a whole.”

Thy says that she hopes to connect those outside the realm of law and policy to the ASUC, and help them see it as a resource to create the events and initiatives they want to see on campus. In her role, she will also preside over the ASUC Senate.

“I’m going to lead the Senate in a way that is most intentional and always remind them to stay grounded in the reason why people voted for them,” Thy said. “They’re supposed to be representing their specific communities and having the student body at the forefront of their mind and making the best decisions in the best interest of the student body.”

Varsha Torpunuri won the election for Transfer Representative with 89% of the vote.

“I think it’s a really amazing opportunity to represent my transfer community,” Torpunuri said. “I think having a position in the ASUC regardless is an incredible privilege. I also think it’s so historic that I would be getting this position on the same day that new transfer students are being admitted to (UC) Berkeley.”

She plans to institutionalize spring orientation for transfer students, pursue housing reform and place transfer hubs in campus apartments.

Mendez won executive affairs vice president in the first round, securing 52% of votes. Her platforms focused on student rights and protections.

“I want to work to hold myself accountable to all the promises I had in my campaign,” Mendez said. “I am ready to make the EAVP office more transparent, more accountable and willing to work hand in hand with community groups.”
