LAKE FOREST, Ill., September 19, 2024 (Newswire.com) - Independent 10th Congressional candidate Joseph Severino expressed his gratitude to the League of Women Voters of Lake County, a platform dedicated to empowering women's voices, for its willingness to host a debate, which offers candidates the opportunity to address critical issues facing both the community and the nation. Severino emphasized his eagerness to participate in an open forum to engage with voters and provide clear answers on the matters most important to the residents of Illinois’ 10th Congressional District.
While Severino stands ready to debate and discuss solutions, both the Democrat incumbent and Republican candidate have declined to participate in this essential public discourse. "This decision is especially surprising, given that one candidate previously criticized the other for avoiding debates. The reluctance of both candidates to appear suggests to me an unwillingness to engage with voters in a meaningful way on the pressing issues they claim to champion," said Severino.
Joe Severino has aligned himself with the values of the League of Women Voters and the community by stepping forward to participate in an open, transparent dialogue. He believes that elected officials and those seeking office must be held accountable to the people, not only during campaign season but also once in office.
In a move to ensure informed decision-making and address voter concerns, Severino proposes a Q&A session with the League of Women Voters, Lake County, Illinois. This initiative aims to prevent voter disenfranchisement and empower citizens to make well-rounded choices during elections, particularly if opponents are hesitant to engage in debates. Severino's approach aligns with the League's mission of promoting active and informed participation in the democratic process, thereby strengthening the democratic fabric and creating a more engaged citizenry.
“I am prepared to have difficult conversations and face tough questions because that’s what our community deserves,” said Severino. “Unlike career politicians who make promises they won’t defend in Washington, I stand ready to discuss my vision for our district and country. I look forward to sharing my ideas and debating the issues that matter most to our families, businesses, and communities.”
Joseph Severino is committed to the 10th District and asks voters to write his name in on the ballot.
