What a fantastic evening at the CCRW Meet the Candidates 2026 Primary Forum!

It was inspiring to see so many engaged citizens asking thoughtful questions, listening carefully, taking notes, and learning about the candidates. An informed electorate is the foundation of a strong republic, and civic engagement continues to be our passion. We were also honored to provide a secure ballot drop off location, making it easy for voters to participate in the election process. ✔️

OUR MISSION AT CCRW: We reach out to and empower women (and men) of all ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds in the political process. We provide a forum for women and men to serve as leaders in their communities. We educate women and men on the important issues of the day through club meetings, special events, and volunteer opportunities.

Thank you to everyone who attended, participated, and helped strengthen our community through informed civic engagement.

Polls show that most Americans support restricting transgender athletes from competing in women's sports.

A May 2025 AP poll found that 73% of U.S. adults believe transgender athletes should not be allowed to participate in girls' and women's sports at any level.

Another AP-NORC poll conducted in May 2025 found that 52% of Americans approve of how Trump is handling transgender issues, which is higher than his overall job approval rating of 41%.

Additionally, a New York Times/Ipsos survey from January 2025 found that 79% of Americans support restricting transgender athletes from competing in women's sports.

The American people understand that this is not an issue of discrimination but is an issue of fairness. Biological males have a distinct physical advantage over biological females in sporting competitions.

Polls indicate that most people do not want biological men in what should be safe spaces for biological females. Sex-segregated spaces exist to protect privacy, particularly in areas where individuals may be in vulnerable such as changing or showering and could increase the risk of harassment or assault. At the very least physical differences between men and women make shared spaces uncomfortable or inappropriate.
