About this episode

The episode discusses the League of Women Voters' preparations and priorities for the upcoming midterm election year.

2026 is a midterm election year, and for the League of Women Voters of Door County, that means the same nonpartisan voter education work it does every election cycle now carries extra weight. Debra Fitzgerald talks with two of the League’s leaders – Tammie Grossman, who recently stepped into the chair role, and Maryanne O’Dowd, who coordinates the League’s Observer Corps – about what voters can expect this year, League priorities, its community journalism partnership with the Peninsula Pulse through the Observer Corps and League Lens, and how the organization keeps its programming nonpartisan while staying true to its advocacy roots.
