June 8, 2026 News Update
Empower Voters, Defend Democracy
The League shall not support or oppose any political party or candidate.

Welcome Our 2026-2027 President 
League of Women Voters of the La Crosse Area

We asked Stephanie to write an introduction to herself for inclusion in the News Update. Here are her words:
"We moved here from Northern California October, 2024. League was one of the first things I joined and was immediately impressed by the Lunch and Learn I attended. Being a retired high school social science teacher, I was excited by the opportunity to promote democracy and voter education. I joined the Program Committee, Voter Services, and Observer Corps to learn more about the League's work. In addition, I helped out with Vote 411 for the 2025 election. I joined the Board in 2025. and then this year was asked to step in as President. Luckily, the League is full of amazing people who lead us in engaging voters, so they will support and guide me in continuing the excellent leadership the League has had."    Stephanie Davis

Town of Campbell is now
Village of French Island

From the Facebook Page of the Village of French Island:
"The day so many, many of us have waited for. It's official!
Our boundaries are secured!
As noted in a previous post...please be patient with us as we navigate changing the name. Per State Statute ... in simple terminology...everything that was the Town's transfers to the village, aka "assumed" So if you see Town of Campbell ... just remind yourself we are Village of French Island!! We are cautious to the time, energy, funds being spend towards this.
Also! We are coming up on the first big act of a Village. Elect Village Board. 1 President, 6 Village Trustees.
Residents who are interested in taking papers to run for Village President or Village Board may file papers now but may not circulate until the first day which is May 26.
The deadline to turn in papers will be Friday, June 12."
