Davis, who is serving as external vice president this year, received 1,543 votes (61.5%) and was most closely followed by Aidon Butler, who had 930 votes (37.1%).
For Davis, the victory has left her feeling a combination of thankfulness and excitement for the future.
“There’s this dual feeling. First and foremost, gratitude. The second feeling is excitement — not just everyday excitement … but a deep-seated excitement and energy to really work hard and see progress be made,” Davis said.
That progress, Davis said, will be made through her work as an “advocate.”
“One of the most unrecognized functions of a student body president is to be an advocate. We hear the word advocate a lot, but we don’t recognize the weight behind it. To be an advocate is not to offhandedly talk about a student’s experience but passionately speak on behalf of those who you are not,” Davis said. “That’s something that I hope to do in every space I’m in, and I hope that the ramifications of it extend to every student on campus.”
Davis ultimately aims to “champion a deep sense of belonging” at Baylor and said she hopes improving this sense of belonging will be her lasting impact.
But before she can create her lasting impact, Davis has work to do. In the days before she’s officially sworn in on April 18, Davis will work on her first order of business: filling her executive cabinet.
Davis said she’s looking for cabinet members who are going to be “diligent and efficient, but also thoughtful.”
However, as she begins this search process, Davis is not the only one preparing to start a new job. Other executive officials, class senators and officers, and permanent officers were elected too. Here are those results.
External Vice President:
China Spring sophomore Mikey Condon was elected with 1,106 votes — 46.06% of all voters in the EVP race.
Hannah Pinney, Brandon Clarke and Caesar Ibanez finished behind Condon with 798, 340 and 130 votes, respectively.
Rockwell sophomore Jacob Limerick, the electoral marshal for student government, said via email that although Condon did not receive a majority of votes, there will not be a run-off, as a plurality of over 12 percentage points is sufficient for election in the Student Government Constitution. Condon’s victory by 12.82 percentage points over Pinney met this margin by 21 votes, according to Limerick.

Pflugerville sophomore Landon Self was elected with 2,059 votes — 97.31% of all voters in the IVP race.
