WGN TV's Chief Political Analyst Paul Lisnek kicks off the new year with an update on the current state of Illinois politics and the 2026 Midterm Elections. This Civic Awareness Series is hosted by the Schaumburg Township District Library and is presented by the League of Women Voters of the Palatine, Schaumburg and Barrington areas and a consortium of Illinois libraries.

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, on which he interviews the leading political figures in the city, state and country.
