YOUNGSTOWN Empowering and educating a greater number of registered voters in Mahoning County is a top priority the League of Women Voters of Greater Youngstown has adopted for 2021.
“Progress arises because people like the League of Women Voters fight for that progress,” U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Cleveland, said in a video clip played during the nonpartisan organization’s annual legislative brunch Saturday afternoon.
More than 40 elected officials, community leaders, activists and others participated in the one-hour virtual session in which key priorities for this year were discussed.
Those also include registering additional voters, hosting drive-up canvassing events and tackling unfair gerrymandering practices, noted Leah Sakacs, president.
