University of Georgia students have elected the DrewJimBrittany party to the executive branch of the Student Government Association for the 2014-2015 academic year. The party consists of president-elect Drew Jacoby, vice president-elect Jim Thompson, and treasurer-elect Brittany Arnold.

This year, 2,631 students voted in the election.
