Candidate speed dating was a success!
Candidate Speed Dating is just one of our many educational events we plan to support an informed, engaged electorate. This event was the first of its kind for ShelterJH and we’re so happy candidates across many races including Town Council, County Commission, state districts, Sheriff, and Coroner participated. We know attendees care about more issues than housing access—and with this format, folks got to ask about any issue they desired.
November 3 is right around the corner, and early voting opens October 6! Make sure you inform your vote.
New candidate questionnaires available
It’s never too early to research local candidates… and ShelterJH candidate questionnaire responses are live! Take a look at responses from candidates for Jackson Town Council and House District 23 before you make a decision on November 3.
Thank you for another amazing Old Bill’s!
Whether you made a donation, shared our campaign, talked to a neighbor about housing, or cheered us on from the sidelines, we’re so grateful to have you in this fight with us. Your support helps make our work possible year-round, ensuring that housing accessibility stays at the center of the conversation in Jackson Hole. We know there are a lot of great organizations doing important work in this community, and we’re incredibly grateful that you chose to support ShelterJH.
It takes all of us to create an accessible, inclusive, and affordable community, and we’re so grateful to all of you for being a part of this journey!
