For an array of reasons, political candidates in Lake County and beyond are shunning the League of Women Voters this fall.
Normally a routine stop on the campaign trail for local politicians, League of Women Voters candidate forums apparently will be more sparsely attended than usual this election season.
The letter was addressed to several chapters of the League of Women Voters that operate in Lake County, as well as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Lake County Branch and the Mano a Mano Family Resource Center, which has sites in Round Lake Park and North Chicago. Vice also said his work schedule forced him to ask for a later start time for the forum, and that the countywide slate of panels was canceled before he and the League of Women Voters set a time for the sheriff’s panel.
Schneider said he didn’t know how many forums and debates he has engaged in over the years because the number is so large, “but this one is different” because of his opponent. Prestia also said Curran “prefers to get his message out directly to the voters that are going to show up, rather than an echo chamber of people that continually push identity politics and a left-wing agenda” and that the campaign is skeptical that the forum “moves the needle” with voters, pointing out that some forums have received around 50 views on YouTube.
Curran’s campaign did not agree to October dates for a forum due to scheduling conflicts, and will also not appear for a forum he was invited to by the Kane County League of Women Voters. In a particularly acrimonious first debate in September of 2020, Biden retorted to Trump, “Will you shut up, man?” as he repeatedly interrupted Biden while talking about the Supreme Court.
