The President’s Perspective

Mary Lou Davis, Chapter President  

As we inch closer to the election with early voting in Shawnee County beginning on Monday, October 21, voters have a limited time to learn candidates’ qualifications and their positions on issues facing our county and state.

As noted in last month’s Voter newsletter, voter education is an integral focus for the League.  Therefore, in conjunction with 10 non-partisan community organizations, the League will host 2 Meet and Greet candidate events this month. 

The LWV provides non-partisan information regarding candidates at VOTE411.org.

The League of Women Voters has two separate and distinct roles:

  • Voters Services/Citizen Education: We present unbiased nonpartisan information about elections, the voting process and issues.

  • Action/Advocacy: We are also nonpartisan; but after study we use our positions to advocate for or against particular policies in the public interest.

Join LWVTSC and start making a difference in our community. League membership is open to all people age 16 or older.
