October 3, 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm | On November 5, voters in the La Crosse School District will be asked to approve or reject a school building referendum question. When considering the commitment of taxpayer dollars, it’s important to understand the reasons behind the referendum and the effects of a yes or no vote. This panel program is designed to help our community understand these issues before they vote.
Advance questions should be sent to lwvlawi@gmail.com no later than Wed 10/2, the day before the forum.
We will livestream this on our YouTube channel. | La Crosse Schools Referendum

October 9, 11:30 am - 1:00 pm |  | “Pay-to-play” politics undermines peace and civic engagement in the US. We will discuss current opportunities to get involved in addressing the flood of money in politics and local, state, and national elections. American Promise is a national initiative to amend the US constitution to combat corruption, end elite and foreign money control of our elections, and secure the free speech and representation of all Americans. Judy Nagel and Howard Hauser will discuss efforts in Wisconsin to reduce the influence of big money in politics through the For Our Freedom Amendment. Voters have a right to know who is making large campaign contributions to influence elections.
LWV US advocates for the DISCLOSE Act in Congress. The DISCLOSE Act (S. 443) requires organizations and politicians to disclose donations over $10,000 during an election cycle. The proposed Wisconsin Senate Joint Resolution urges support for a constitutional amendment to provide states with authority to regulate campaign financing.
Howard Hauser is a co-founder and partner at Market Masters LLC.
Judy Nagel retired from her position as a Financial Advisor at Wells Fargo.
