Event Description

Post election update with Paul Lisnek (Hybrid event)

The League of Women Voters of the Palatine Area and various area libraries are proud to partner to host the Civic Awareness Series, a program dedicated to the continued civic education and engagement of our patrons. To kick off our 2025 season we are proud to be host WGN-TV’s Paul Lisnek to speak about life after the election. Lisnek will speak about the election results and what we can expect from the upcoming four years. 

About the Speaker: Paul Lisnek, J.D., Ph.D. is a multi-Emmy, Cablefax, Telly, Communicator, and Beacon Award-winning television host and analyst. Paul has been the political analyst for WGN-TV since 2008, appearing on all its # 1 rated newscasts discussing political and legal issues of the day. He is the host of WGN-TV Political Report seen every Sunday morning at 9am, on which he interviews the leading political figures in the city, state and country. Paul has interviewed presidents, governors, senators, congressmen, local representatives and mayors too numerous to count over the last 38 years. Paul can also be heard on wgnradio.com, where he hosts a podcast called “Paul Lisnek Behind the Curtain,” which addresses political, theatre and arts, and other areas of interest to Chicagoland. He is also a fill-in host on WGN Radio.
