We had 60 guests at our last candidate conversation in May - let’s see what we can do next weekend! 💫 Person County kids need adults to show up for them this election. Come hear how local candidates will prioritize youth engagement and get informed about the school bond. This will be a low-pressure, community-focused environment to ask questions about the ballot to help us all navigate these challenges together.
