League of Women Voters of Siouxland holds final Legislative session of 2025
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — The League of Women Voters along with the Sioux City branch of the NAACP held their third and final legislative town hall of 2025 this morning.
It was an overflow crowd at the Sioux City Public Museum as local state legislator's discussed topics and answered questions from their constituents on topics like education, healthcare and civil rights.
According to organizers, forums like this are important so both the elected officials and voters have a chance to discuss things face to face.
'It's the key to our Democracy at a time when there are those that are speaking against Democracy,' said Carolyn goodwin, with the League of Women Voters of Siouxland. 'The League of Women Voters has always encouraged people to vote. We want them to have an informed vote. To listen to legislators, to listen to political parties. We do not support candidates, nor do we support political parties as an organization.'
There were five legislators in attendance. From the Iowa State House of Representatives, Democrat JD Scholten and Republicans Robert Henderson and Jacob Bossman. From the State Senate, Republicans Rocky De Witt and Kevin Alons.
