Two LSU students are leading the Challenge ticket in the upcoming Student Government election, vying to become the next study body president and vice president.

Biological sciences junior Munjed Isa and kinesiology sophomore Macye Brown announced their candidacies for student body president and vice president, respectively, in a campaign ad on Instagram released Feb. 3.

Isa said he’s a first-generation college student. He said he was born in Alexandria but spent some time in Palestine, where his parents are from. He served as an SG senator for three semesters and currently serves in the executive branch as assistant director of athletic relations.

Brown is from Belle Chasse and is a member of the Kappa Delta sorority as the outreach chair. Brown said she served on the LSU community council for Azalea Hall and served in the Freshman Leadership Council. She currently serves as college council president of the university Center for Advising and Counseling.

Isa said his campaign has received funding from various oil companies. Brown secured funding from some construction and air conditioning companies in Belle Chasse. The new SG election code caps campaign spending at $4,000.
