Jan. 24—CHAMPAIGN — State Sen. Paul Faraci and former state Rep. Mike Marron will join the League of Women Voters of Champaign County for this month's Working Across the Aisle in Springfield event.

The meeting will be held via Zoom on Wednesday from 7-8 p.m. and can be accessed via the LWVCC's website.

Faraci and Marron, who is now president/CEO of Vermilion Advantage, will discuss how they were able to work across the aisle, how qualified local citizens might be encouraged to run for office and how individuals and organizations can support these efforts.

The LWVCC hopes to reach people who are frustrated by trends of increased polarization and perceived decline in political candidate quality.

Future programs will continue to address topics of local interest, like the impact of bail band reform in Champaign County.
