If you've never voted, this is your reason to start.

You've heard it before: "Young people don't vote." But here's the thing — local elections are decided by incredibly small numbers of people. A few hundred votes can literally decide who runs your county. That means your vote carries more weight here than almost anywhere else.

JT gets it. He's a teacher. He works with young people every single day. He knows what your generation is dealing with — student debt, housing costs that feel impossible, a climate that feels uncertain, and a system that often feels like it wasn't built for you.

• ✓ He wants to take fiscal court meetings out into the community — Cox's Creek, Bloomfield, New Haven, Boston — at times that actually work for working people and students.
• ✓ He opposes the data center sprawl that strains our water and utilities for the benefit of out-of-state corporations.
• ✓ He wants an open gradebook — so you can see exactly where your tax dollars go, on your phone, anytime.
• ✓ He's fighting for affordable housing and starter homes, because he knows young people are getting priced out of the county they grew up in.
