Advocacy

The members of the League of Women Voters of Ohio have adopted positions on twelve state governmental issues. The LWV Ohio board uses these positions, as well as ones adopted at the national League level, to take action at the state level.

The position summaries, lobbyists’ testimony and key issues below provide good starting points to learn where the League stands. You can also check out the more detailed 2008 Advocacy Agenda, and the comprehensive 2007-2009 Agenda for Action for more information.

For information on LWVUS issues and positions, please see League of Women Voters of the United States | Issues.
