The Amplify Movement party and the new Progress Florida State University party went head-to-head this past week with undergraduate Student Government Association (SGA) elections in the Student Senate. Amid controversy over the summer with the Student Senate Presidents and the new Progress FSU party, this election was one to watch. Although many seats went unopposed for both parties, this was an important election for the newly formed Progress FSU who campaigned over social media, releasing their platform over the course of one week on their Facebook page. The Amplify Movement party has already been established on and around campus, having swept the fall 2019 elections.
Here are the unofficial results with an asterisk meaning the seat was unopposed, “A” representing the Amplify Movement, “P” representing Progress FSU, and “I” representing Independent.

Prior to this election, the Torchlight Campus Policy Center hosted a debate between the two parties to help the student body make decisions about the elections. In this debate, the party representatives helped answer questions about their party’s platform and how each party will address issues relevant to the student body like Black Lives Matter and minority representation.
