State Senate Forum on Door County Site

League of Women Voters entities in the Fox Valley region are working together to share forums and other ways to inform voters about candidates who represent our communities who will be on the ballot in November. The Door County League has asked us to share information on an October 10 forum they will conduct for State Senate District 1 which affects the eastern part of Appleton and parts of Kaukauna, Sherwood, Harrison and Darboy, Little Chute and Town of Buchanan.

While the forum will take place in Door County, it will be recorded and available afterwards on the LWV of Door County website,  lwvdoorcounty.org.

A forum with candidates for State Assembly District 1 is currently posted on the LWV of Door County website. It too can be found on the LWV Door County site,  lwvdoorcounty.org

Upcoming Monthly Programs


Why Should I Care About Fair Courts?
 
Next spring, there will be a statewide election for a new Wisconsin Supreme Court justice. The decisions that this court makes affect every citizen of our state, so it is important for all voters to be fully informed about how the Wisconsin court system functions. 

The Leagues of Appleton Fox-Cities and Winnebago County have teamed up to present a two-part program detailing the seriousness of the issue.

Part 1 was Monday, November 21 from 6:30-8:00 p.m. in room 1338 at the UWO-Fox Cities Campus (1478  Midway Road, Menasha.) Retired Outagamie County Circuit Court Judge Nancy Krueger and former Winnebago County Circuit Court Judge Lakeisha Haase provided an overview of the Wisconsin court system and the importance of the upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court election. Click HERE for a recording of this program. 


Part 2 will be on Monday, December 5 from 6:30-8:00 p.m. at the Winnebago County Coughlin Center, 625 E. County Road Y in Oshkosh. Former Judge and attorney Joseph Troy will provide his perspective on what is undermining Wisconsin Courts such as campaign finance and recusal rules. Email invitation will be sent later.
