Upcoming Event

Democratic Kent County Commissioner Candidates Forum

The Democratic candidates for Kent County Commissioner, who will face off in a primary election in June, will have an opportunity to share their platforms at a public forum where each will be given an opportunity to introduce themselves and to answer two questions from the LWV, as well as questions from the audience, followed by a closing statement from each candidate. There are four Democratic candidates vying for three seats. They are, listed alphabetically, Thad Bench, John Carroll, David Foster, and Sam Shoge. The League of Women Voters hosts forums for candidates in contested races only.

Those who attend the forum will be asked to refrain from demonstrations. No campaign signs will be allowed in the event room, including any indication of support for a candidate on clothing, signage or buttons.

The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization dedicated to promoting informed and active citizen participation in government; it does not support or oppose any political parties or candidates for office.

Date & Time: Wednesday, May 13  |  6pm
Location: Emmanuel Church Parish Hall  |  101 Cross Street, Chestertown

The forum will be recorded by the Chestertown Spy and made available online soon after the forum takes place.

Video Spotlight

The year 2020 marked the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing and protecting women's constitutional right to vote. This historic centennial offered an opportunity to commemorate a milestone of democracy and to explore its relevance to the issues of equal rights today. This short video was produced by the League of Women Voters of Kent County Maryland to highlight the accomplishments of the LWV's 100-year history. Today, more than 68 million women vote in elections because of the courageous suffragists who never gave up the fight for equality. Thank you to all who made this possible!
