Student Political Action

The Student Political Action (SPA) office works on local, state and national political issues that affect students of The University of Montana. The SPA aims to be a resource for students who want to engage in the political process. If you have any questions, would like to register to vote, or bring our attention to a political issue, please feel free to contact us.

Mission of SPA: To provide representation of the students' interest to the community outside The University of Montana Campus including, but not limited to, the Montana Legislature, the United States Congress, the various county commissions and city councils of the State of Montana, and the executives of these legislative bodies.
