Agassiz Women's Political Caucus (S2734)
HISTORICAL SKETCH
The Agassiz Women’s Political Caucus was organized during the summer of 1982. Its primary purpose is to educate women in political activities so that they may share equally with men in the responsibilities of government at every level. The Caucus also works to recruit, support, and endorse able and qualified women to run for elective office and to serve in positions in government and courts.
