League Letter to the Editor about the Voters Guide

“The League of Women Voters of the Greater Dayton Area has been encouraging active and informed participation in government since 1920. The League is political, but non-partisan, and never endorses nor opposes any candidate or party. As the General Election nears, the League is compiling the resources voters need to make educated decisions at the polls. One of those resources is the annual Voters Guide, which has been a trusted, nonpartisan source of information for Dayton area voters for over one hundred years. Each candidate in a contested race is contacted by The League and invited to respond to questions pertinent to the office for which they are running. The League publishes their answers in their own words without correction to grammar or spelling. If responses from a candidate are not found in the Guide, it is because the candidate chose not to participate or missed the deadline. Also included in the Guide are pro and con points on statewide ballot issues. This year’s Guide will be published and distributed to subscribers of the Dayton Daily News on Oct. 10. Copies will also be available at each Dayton Metro and Greene County Library, at local businesses and churches, and can be found on the League’s website, lwvdayton.org. Every election is important. Your League encourages voters to educate themselves about the candidates and the issues for which they will be voting. Your vote is your voice. Let it be heard! If you have questions, please contact the League office at 937-228-4041 or league@lwvdayton.org.“
