Why We Do It
Jefferson County is a wonderful place to live, work, and play. However, 25% of our population lives in poverty, and 25% of our residents are categorized as the working poor. This means 50% of Jefferson County residents struggle to get by every single day.
​
A better educated, healthier, and financially stable community is strong.
This is why we fight.
