Yes, We Elect Coroners: Sophia Garcia-Jackson in Chester County, PA

Update: 2021-11-23

Description

In around 1300 counties across the country, we still elect coroners. Run for Something has worked with a handful of them over the years -- Sophia Garcia-Jackson of Chester County, PA, is our first winner! We talk about how she got into the line of work, what a coroner actually does, the story she tells at cocktail parties, and why it matters to have competent people handling non-natural death investigations. Happy Thanksgiving!

Produced by Dear Media.
