If you want to hear from the people who could potentially represent you in local government, the League of Women Voters of Door County wants to hear from you. Six communities in Door County will have contested elections this spring, including the City of Sturgeon Bay, which has multiple candidates for mayor and District 5 alderperson. League of Women Voters of Door County's Dan Powers says forums are especially important at this level of government because the lack of money in the races often means a lack of communication about their stances on issues.

Residents interested in hearing from their potential representatives can make their request by contacting the League of Women Voters between January 15th and January 31st by contacting Powers. The spring primary is February 18th, and the spring general election is April 1st. Headlining the spring general election will be races for State Superintendent and State Supreme Court.
