EDITOR’S NOTE: List is in alphabetical order by presidential last name.
Baptiste “Bat” Brunner IV and Madeleine Davis
Instead of giving an official speech, Brunner spent Monday afternoon in Free Speech Plaza introducing himself and running mate Davis to passing students.
Davis said they chose the ticket’s name, “Renew LSU,” because they want “to restore, to replenish and to revive” the University.
Though neither has been involved in Student Government in the past, Brunner was the chief justice and vice president of the LSU Interfraternity Council, and Davis was the assistant recruitment chair for Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.
Some initiatives of the Renew LSU ticket include providing Scantrons to every college on campus, adding wait lists for registering for multiple sections of the same class, relocating emergency call boxes and repaving concrete sidewalks.
