Dawson Deal and Liesel Kemmelmeier won the 2024 presidential and vice presidential elections for the Associated Students of the University of Nevada, Reno’s. Deal won with 1537 votes and 52.95% of the vote, versus Fayza Salah with 1366 votes and 47.05%. Kemmelmeier won with 1487 votes and 51.22% of the vote, versus Isabella Valdivieso‘s 1416 votes and 48.78%.

Deal and Kemmelmeier were tearing up about their win during the post-election interview.

“We knew it was going to be a hard election and presidential candidate Salah just came up to me and congratulated me,” Deal said. “It’s really overwhelming.”

The two talked about how close the race was and that they were proud of both of the campaigns for how much work they each put into it.

“When we were going out, boots on the ground … we didn’t even say, we’re not even trying to campaign, like just vote,” Kemmelmeier said. “At the end of the day, I just want everyone feel like they have a stake in the issues, that they can participate and that they have access to us, I think is the most important thing.”

Both the winners are very excited to get started and the first thing they said they were going to do is go get something to eat, after working non-stop on the campaign promotion today.

Deal added that the higher voter turnout is great to see because it shows how important the ASUN election was to the students. Sandra Rodriguez, the director of the Center of Student Engagement told the reception that compared to last year’s 5% voter turnout, this year there was a total of 2,903 votes and 20% voter turnout.
