“We want to encourage and challenge our community to be active in the county’s future. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to share their ideas for the future and help develop a vision and a plan for Jefferson County,”

County Commissioner David Bramer.

 PLATFORM DISCUSSION POINTS

GOVERNMENT FOR ALL CITIZENS OF JEFFERSON COUNTY

I believe that the government of Jefferson County is for all citizens in Jefferson County.  Citizen perspective and participation is essential for good government and as your Commissioner, I will continue to work with you and give you a voice in your government.  

 

As a Commissioner, I have provided opportunities for all citizens of Jefferson County to have their opinions and ideas shared.  Whether we met at a Commissioner Meeting, the open houses for the development of the County Comprehensive Plan, or the public meetings as the county sought input for location and design of the new  jail facility, I looked forward to hearing your thoughts and opinions.  I will continue to seek your input on future projects as well as look forward to the personal calls and emails from all citizens.  

OPEN AND TRANSPARENT GOVERNMENT

I believe that open and transparent communication is critical for good government.  As County Commissioner, I will be sure the citizens of Jefferson County will have current information available so that they are able to stay informed on Jefferson County and your government.  

 

During my first term in office, a new Jefferson County website was created.  The website provided easy access to county officials, their offices, county meeting videos and minutes, emergency information, tax information, and election results as well as information necessary for our citizens to operate their daily lives.  As a re-elected Commissioner, I will continue to improve this platform of communication.

Veterans
As a Veteran, I am aware of the sacrifices many Veterans have made for our Country and our County.  As a Commissioner, I will continue to investigate opportunities to help our Veterans gain access to the  resources  available to them.  I will also work to provide new opportunities within Jefferson County for our Veterans to have the quality of life they desire in Jefferson County.  As a Commissioner, I want to establish avenues of communications to allow our Veterans to be able to provide their input for developing resources they need and desire at home. 
Work Force and Economic Development
We are all aware that the development of the workforce in Jefferson County will help our citizens provide for their families, their futures as well as the future of our county.  I will work to ensure that the citizens of Jefferson County are informed of available training resources that will provide career skills for Jefferson County workers.  I will work with the other commissioners to coordinate these resources from educational organizations, local businesses, workforce development resources, and other (citizens).  Thus helping to prepare our citizens for the challenging work skills needed in today's workplace.
