LWVMC Hosts Legislative Breakfast

On Monday, October 20, 2025, dozens of local league members gathered with area legislators for breakfast and conversation.

Elected officials took turns presenting their legislative goals for the upcoming year and constituents had the opportunity to chat with them one-on-one about the needs of their districts.

It was an informative and exciting morning for all!

The League does not endorse candidates, but we have always engaged in political advocacy. The election is now over, and those who were elected are no longer candidates. As a nonpartisan organization, the League has every right to call out statements, actions, and policies that are counter to our values and principles. We are proud of the League's work this election to empower voters and protect voting rights. However, we are deeply concerned for the future of women in the United States, the future of our planet's climate - as well as LGBTQIA+, Black, brown, and immigrant communities.
