Praise from The Kane County Chronicle

Joe Grace writes in his October 7, 2008 column in the Kane County Chronicle: "I love a good debate. And on Sunday, I got to see one. I had the wonderful opportunity to be a panelist at the League of Women Voters' Candidate Forum at the Norris Center in St. Charles between the candidates for the District 14 seat in the US House of Representatives, Democrat Bill Foster and Republican Jim Oberweis. It was a well-fought debate, with both sides making good points and answering the questions that were asked--something both U.S. vice presidential candidates had problems with. And it was a policy-oriented debate with few attacks on each other and quite enjoyable for this very reason."

2008 On-Line Voters Guide

Welcome to the LWV Geneva/St. Charles' newest voter education tool--the On-line Voters' Guide 2008. We have been looking at new ways to reach voters because we believe educated voters make the best choices. We hope this added feature will complement our traditional candidates' forums.

After reading the responses please comment on this site. We appreciate all the candidates who took advantage of this opportunity to let voters know their views. We encourage candidates running in future elections to participate as well.
