The Thomas Jefferson Gardens Board will hold the second “Meet your Legislator” of the 2020 Session on Saturday February 8, at the Welcome Center on the southeast side of the square in Jefferson.
Senator Jerry Behn, and Representative Phil Thompson have both been invited to meet their constituents beginning at 10:30 A.M. Please note this is 30 minutes earlier than previously scheduled meetings. This added time comes at the request of a Jefferson resident, and we are pleased the elected officials agreed to a lengthened visit.
Since the previous “Meet your Legislator” session held in January, Senator Behn has announced that he will be retiring. He has served 23 years as an elected representative of Boone, and Greene County and portions of Story and Webster Counties.
Previous Editor of the Jefferson Bee and Herald, Mr. Rick Morain, has once again been recruited to serve as moderator for the informative interactive session.
Thomas Jefferson strongly believed a knowledgeable and active electorate was necessary for a Democracy. The Board is pleased to host public service event such as these to sustain that legacy and to maintain Jefferson’s philosophy.
The public is invited and welcome to attend. Jefferson Community and Paton Churdan students are encouraged to also participate.
Light refreshments will be served by the Thomas Jefferson Gardens Board.
