Sedona AZ (November 11, 2014) – Our recent elections were hotly contested, and millions of dollars were spent during the campaign. Should we be delighted to have seen democracy in action, or should we be dismayed at what’s happening to our voting process?

Robyn Prud’homme-Bauer, President of the League of Women Voters for the state of Arizona, will reflect on the current state of the American political system at the Lunch and Learn Keynote Speaker program on Wednesday, November 19, 2014.

Prud’homme-Bauer will discuss the election outcomes for Arizona and for the Sedona legislative district, how the democratic process is working in Arizona, important issues likely to come up during the new legislative session, and how each voter can best influence legislation they care about. A Clarkdale resident since 1997, she was past-chair of the Verde Valley Regional Economic Organization and served on the Town of Clarkdale Planning Commission and Board of Adjustment. Currently, she is active in Made In Clarkdale and serves as chair of Clarkdale’s Design Review Board.
