Lakeshore Public Media recently partnered with the League of Women Voters of the Calumet Area and Porter County, to coordinate and broadcast mayoral primary debates of Gary, Portage, and Lake Station. Audio recording of the three Northwest Indiana primary debates, which occurred throughout April, are available at LakeshorePublicRadio.org.

By building awareness of debates, voting, and the results, we hope to encourage future participation in the democratic processes that shape our neighborhoods,” President and CEO of Lakeshore Public Media, Chuck Roberts, said.
