Endorsements

Assemblymember Wolk has received ASUCD endorsements in the past. A constitutional amendment had been passed that prevented ASUCD officials from endorsing political candidates, as it was a violation of ASUCD's tax-exempt status. Her endorsements from ASUCD officials used to be available at http://www.loiswolk.net/endorse.html — but now you have to go to the internet archive.
