Keep watch for candidate forums

The General Election season is in full swing and the League of Women Voters of Central Kane County is in the process of scheduling forums for area candidates in contested races for Kane County, the Illinois General Assembly and U.S. Congress.

LWV forums are designed to provide a neutral space for candidates to share their views on issues of importance to the voting public. The League of Women Voters strives to create an opportunity for information to be presented in a nonpartisan, neutral setting that benefits the voting public. A candidate forum can clearly be seen as a job interview. Campaign stops, glad handing, ads, flyers and stump speeches absolutely do not serve the same purpose.

The upcoming forums will be held at Batavia City Hall and will be open to the public. All forums will follow established League processes and rules. BATV will be on hand, streaming the forums to their YouTube channel. Following the forums, recordings will be published to our website https://lwvckcil.com and on the vote411.org website.

The League of Women Voters is proud to be nonpartisan, neither supporting nor opposing candidates or political parties at any level of government, but always working on vital issues of concern to members and the public.

Please watch for more detailed information on specific races and forums in the coming days and weeks.

Tammy Caltagirone and Patti Lackman, Co-Presidents
