Event host Lynnelle Morgan

spoke briefly:

“This is a special event for our county and we have six of our people that are running for the third commissioner-Jefferson County seat.

Six out of seven, that’s pretty good and I would like to give them a round of applause.

I also see our current Sheriff, Jason Pollock, over there in the corner, thank you very much for being here.

I also see a couple of our current Commissioners, Mark, raise your hand, thank you Mark and Wayne Fording...”

Lynnelle asked the candidates to introduce themselves and provide “three things that are important about our county for them.”
