George Krebs and Experience Columbia won the CCSC General Election by receiving 59% of the popular vote.

Alidad Damooei and Connect Columbia placed second with the remaining 41% of the vote.

Krebs thanked the other members of his team, Laura Doan, Adil Ahmed, Robyn Burgess, and Ian Solsky, for their support during the campaign. Throughout the election process, Krebs and his team became "like family".

Long involved in student council, Krebs recently became a campus wide name for working in part to take Flex off-campus. Student Council transparency, increasing financial aid, and building a comprehensive web portal were issues that were embraced by Experience Columbia.

Campus turnout for the election was approximately 43%, with 1921 votes cast.
