Dear UFAS brothers and sisters:
On September 5, 2018, at our first general membership meeting of the 2018-19 academic year, UFAS members voted unanimously to make our union's first political endorsement. On the recommendation of our newly formed Committee on Political Education (COPE), we proudly endorse our fellow UFAS member Ann Groves Lloyd for Wisconsin State Assembly (District 42).
