Three Sacramento State College Democrats now represent over 100 College Democrats chapters across California.
At the California College Democrats convention on April 16, Sac State's College Democrats won three of the eight executive positions open yearly.
John Vigna won the position of statewide vice president, Robbie Abelon won Northern California vice president and Justin Lehr, the only contested candidate of the three, won communications director.
"Part of the reason why three of us were selected is because we are here at Sac State and we're just minutes away from the Capitol," said Justin Lehr, a senior government major who won the position of communications director at the convention.
The only other school to gain more than one position was the UC Berkeley, with two. The Sac State College Democrats hope to use these newly acquired positions to help Sac State gain better recognition.
"I hope this really brings the Sac State government program to the forefront," Lehr said. The Sac State College Democrats has only been a club at the school since spring of 2004.

Schools from around the country compete once a year in a four-on-four battle of wits known as College Bowl. Sacramento State will be sending a team of five students to represent it in the regional competition, which consists of 11 schools.
This year's College Bowl is to be held Feb. 18 to 20 at California State University, Fullerton. College Bowl is a competition consisting of buzzing in answers to questions from a variety of subjects, such as math, history, pop culture and sports. The competition's concept is spun-off of a 1960s game show entitled "College Bowl."
Teams are allowed to have five students, but only four play at a time. Sac State representatives will be Adam Sweet, a senior in history, Kris Goldstein, a junior in government, Alaric Smith, a molecular biology graduate student, Richard Zeunges, a junior in history and team captain Steve Nixon, a physics senior.
