Go to vote411.org/ballot and enter your address to view your personalized sample ballot for the April 2 election. If you notice candidates who have not provided information to Vote411, give them a call to let them know you’re interested in their qualifications and priorities. Please call as an individual, not as a member of the League of Women Voters.
The Voter Guide/Vote411 Committee has already emailed and phoned candidates on behalf of the League. Now it's time to let them know that potential constituents want this information in order to make a decision on Election Day.

The Forums committee will complete its spring school board forums with:
Independence (March 19)
North Kansas City (March 20)
Lee’s Summit (March 21)
Recordings of previous forums for Liberty, Hickman Mills, and Center can be found on YouTube here!
Of the eight candidates running for the Independence City Council, only two responded to our invitation, so this forum, scheduled for March 27, has been CANCELED.
YouTube recordings of the candidates in the primary election, held in February, can be accessed.
After taking a little break, the Forums Committee will be gearing up for the August primaries. New members are always welcome. Please consult the Consolidated Candidates and Issues Calendar for current information on forums hosted by area organizations. The calendar may be found here!

The LWVKC Observer Corps presented “Sunshine Amid the Storm,” a hybrid event held at the Shook, Hardy, and Bacon offices on March 11, 2024. Check out the program on LWVKC YouTube Channel: Sunshine Amid the Storms: an Educational Event on Open Records and Government Transparency here!

This hybrid event proved to be very successful thanks to the space and tech services provided by the Shook, Hardy, and Bacon Law Firm, and the Sunshine Law sub-committee made up of Nancy Shawver, Tommye Sexton, Teri Lane, and Donna Hoch.

Karin Page has been a member of the League since July 2022, and became a Coordinator of Get Out The Vote (“GOTV”) less than two weeks later. She doesn’t do anything without researching her options first. Her fierce determination to make a difference, and her passion for what the League has done since its inception through today made her involvement inevitable.

Karin, what do you do when you are not focused on League work? “I like to garden a lot and share plants and seeds. I have two garden beds that I rent so that I can grow vegetables as my yard is mostly shady. I like to play the piano, and I enjoy relaxing by my koi pond. I love to cook and bake and feed the volunteers who come to my home. I love to nap with my cat. I’m a very simple person.”
Karla Roberts
