What will we do next?

The League of Women Voters of Frederick County thanks all of the county's voters for exercising their right to vote in this Prsidential election.

The League's mission never ends, however. You can help make change, even after big national elections, because all politics begin locally. Our Frederick delegation of the state legislators is meeting 12/7 at Winchester Hall to hear what Frederick citizens want them to do at the coming state legislative session. Our Count Execuative is holding budget hearings throughout Frederick County in the coming weeks, see the calendar item below. And, of course, a new mix of representatives are taking office at the federal government level in Washington, DC, in January.

The state legislative session will start before we know it, and we want to stay on top of the issues most important to us. Also, city elections happen in 2025.

We need to get voters interested in what's happening at the local level to improve the responsiveness of our local government to our concerns. If you have been thinking about how to make change, please join the League of Women Voters of Frederick County at the Join link at the top of this page, to help us make the best of the government work our representatives will be doing this coming year. We will be doing our best to help you connect with your representatives, and to understand what they are doing as the new year progresses.

If you are not a joiner, we acccept donations for our voter education efforts, as we are affiliated with the LWV of Maryland, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Be sure to mark your doation as "For voter education." This covers all of our work providing voter education programs, voter registration drives, the Vote411 website that we hope you use when you want voting information of all sorts, and candidate forums where you can hear from local candidates running for local office. All of these efforts are nonpartisan.

You can also donate specifically to our advocacy efforts, as we are a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization that accepts donations to support our government engagement work. The latter is not tax deductible, but it supports advocacy at state and local government on the issues you can find on this website on many different pages.

Donate to either or both voter education and advocacy at the Donation link at the top of this page.
