For the Tomahawk Leader
NORTHERN WISCONSIN – Next month’s League of Women Voters of the Northwoods (LWVNOW) meeting will focus on public service.
The meeting, which is open to the public, will be held virtually on Tuesday, Nov. 9, at 1 p.m., and will feature a panel of speakers who have run for office at various levels of government.
“Some panelists were successful in their run, and some were defeated in their attempt,” LWVNOW said.
Panelists will include Lincoln County District 18 Supervisor Patricia Voermans; Chris Meier, who opposed Rob Swearingen for State Representative in 2018; and Ashley Roach, Arbor Vitae Town Board Supervisor.
“The panelists will explain what motivated or inspired them to run for office, how they navigated the process to file for candidacy, how they campaigned and what they learned from the experience,” LWVNOW stated.

The local league belongs to the state and national League of Women Voters, “a non-partisan organization devoted to helping members and fellow citizens develop educated political opinions and act upon them through the democratic process.” The league’s monthly meetings and sponsored events are open to all.
