E is for Educate our youth and share more insights about our laws. The more they understand, the better we can equip them in their part in the community as they become the next local leaders and take on other important positions in our workforce.
It also means building on what we started in 2024: going into select schools with law and government programs, with the welcome cooperation of Jefferson County Public Schools to help encourage students to explore career paths in the legal field.
We’re above the national average when it comes to our kids losing their lives in violent crimes. We’ve seen a rise in the number of young people participating in violence in our city, and we’ve seen the ages of those participating getting younger.
We will make a difference.
