One of the most anticlimactic FUSA election seasons is finally over, with Harry Cintineo named the fifth class of 2014 senator.
Cintineo won over opponent Astrid Quinones ‘14, 38 to 13 votes. He will now join Paul O’Brien ‘14, Samantha Hart ‘14, Alex Long ‘14 and Nicoletta Richardson ’14 in representing the rising junior class.
The positions in Senate were the only contested races of the 2012 FUSA Election. Cintineo and Quinones tied last Tuesday, when seven students ran for five Senate seats.
Both candidates received exactly 87 votes in the tie. The Election Code stipulates that a run-off election must determine the winner within a week, prompting the last-minute ballot casting in the BCC on Tuesday
Upon hearing the news of his win, Cintineo expressed gratitude for everyone who came out and voted for him.
Quinones commented, “I don’t know my opponent personally, but I’m sure he will do his best on FUSA Senate.”
Sam Maxfield ‘14, the newly elected Chair of Senate, said, “I am happy this process worked and I’m excited to get started next year.”
