The League of Women Voters of Ashtabula County is a nonpartisan political organization. We encourage informed and active participation in government, work to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influence public policy through education and advocacy.

Membership is open to people of all genders and political backgrounds—including people who hold public office. Members bring their own experiences, perspectives, and political lives; when acting for the League, we work from adopted positions and never for a party or candidate.

We are guided by respect for individuals, the value of diversity, grassroots empowerment, and collective decision-making for the common good. We study before taking action and work openly, with integrity, in service to members and the public.

Our continuing local positions address land use and greenspace, juvenile needs, and mental health. Members are also examining how development and data centers intersect with land use, public process, trust, and transparency.
