Oxford, Mississippi, is abuzz with excitement as the University of Mississippi prepares for a spirited week leading up to the Associated Student Body (ASB) elections on March 25. With candidates making their rounds in Union Plaza to promote their platforms, students are gearing up to make their voices heard.

The big day for the elections is set for Tuesday, March 25. Students can cast their votes from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. using myOleMiss. This online voting system makes it easy for students to participate. And don’t forget to tune in at 7:30 p.m. when the results will be announced right at the front steps of the Lyceum!
Just in case there’s a need for a runoff election, it will take place on March 27, again from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with final results rolling in at 7:30 p.m.. It’s shaping up to be a thrilling week!
Candidate Highlights
Let’s take a peek at some of the candidates who are in the running:
Eron Hendrix, a junior double majoring in public health and public policy leadership, hails from Tupelo, Mississippi. His campaign centers around the Home Initiative, with a focus on helping first-year students find a sense of community.
Jack Jones, the current ASB Vice President and a junior economics major from Murray, Kentucky, is throwing his hat in the ring for president. His main goal? To create a more transparent ASB that values student concerns.
Running for Vice President, we have Hannah Broders, a sophomore from Mobile, Alabama. She’s looking to modernize the ASB guidelines to better serve today’s students. Alongside her is Walker Jacklin, also a junior public policy leadership major. Jacklin aims to tackle finances, pushing for lower student costs including discounts on Uber rides and stadium prices.
Wesley Templet, a junior from Vacherie, Louisiana, is also vying for the Vice President position. He’s passionate about forging connections between the ASB Senate and the student body to inspire real change.
On the Secretary front, we have Caroline Croley, a sophomore public policy leadership major from Atlanta. Croley wants to enhance transparency by revamping the ASB website and engaging with the campus community. Another candidate, Ewing Milam, a junior finance and marketing major from Ridgeland, Mississippi, aims to work with The Grove Collective to support student athletes.
Other Key Positions
In a surprising twist, there are currently no candidates running for the vital treasurer position. A last-minute write-in campaign or a presidential appointment might be on the horizon!
Madison Waldrop, a junior integrated marketing communications major from Birmingham, Alabama, hopes to elevate the role of Attorney General to emphasize the impact of the student body. Meanwhile, Diego Abele, a senior political science and philosophy major from Austin, has his sights set on the Judicial Chair position, focusing on alcohol safety and student rights.
The race doesn’t end there! The Senior Class President spot is up for grabs, with Braxton Dagg running, while Kaylee Goff competes for Senior Class Vice President.
The elections are a crucial showcase of student governance at Ole Miss, emphasizing the importance of engagement and representation within the university community. Be sure to get involved, support your candidates, and make your voice count this March!
