Great News! The Senior Services measure has successfully passed through the Jackson County Legislature, and County Executive Frank White plans to sign the ordinance tomorrow, officially placing the measure on the November 5 ballot. We extend a special thanks to the sponsors, Hon. Jalen Anderson and Hon. Donna Peyton, as well as the other six legislators who voted in favor.

This is a monumental achievement for seniors in Jackson County, and it’s all thanks to your relentless advocacy and support. But our work isn’t done yet – in fact, it’s just beginning! Now, we must focus on educating voters that supporting seniors in Jackson County on November 5 means supporting the entire community.
