If you have a university-related issue to share with elected officials, contact the Office of Governmental Relations, at 3-6144. If expressing your personal opinion to legislators, use non-university stationary. Personal e-mail to legislators should be transmitted via a personal e-mail provider, not the UNI e-mail system.
