Description

This month, we sat down with Jackson Lewis to discuss what it means to be young and politically active.

At age 19, Jackson became the youngest elected official in Utah’s history. Note, this is youngest ever vs. simply the youngest LGBTQIA+ individual. Jackson represents District 1 on the Canyons School Board. We chatted with Jackson about his first few months on the School Board, what inspired him to run, and how to stand firm in the age of the internet.

A reminder and encouragement that it is never too early to become politically engaged!
