Hello, MCAD Students,

We are just a few weeks out from the general election. Whether it's local, state, or national, each election presents a chance to shape the future of our society. This fall, your ballot will have lots of races, from Governor, U.S. Senator, and U.S. House member to state legislators to school board races and other local offices, and a state constitutional amendment. This email will give you the information you need to be confident, comfortable, and successful.

Thanks to everyone who entered. If you won, stop by the Library to pick out your plant!
