Full Name: Jennifer Cooper Smith 

Age: 50 

Political Affiliation: Democrat 

Precinct: Silverton 

What do you see as the primary responsibilities of a precinct committeeman, and why are you interested in serving in this position?  

I believe my primary responsibility will be to provide resources and support to the voters in my precinct so they feel confident going to vote. Additionally, I am here to support my community and to give voice to their thoughts, ideas and concerns. To affect change you must work proactively. I felt that if I wanted to affect change and help my community it was time to step up. I want to work towards solutions that will benefit our community as a whole. 

How would you work to engage voters, support party organization, and represent your precinct’s concerns at the county or district level?

In today’s world It can be very difficult to find accurate, unbiased information. My goal would be to provide voters with that information and resources to search out information themselves, to create a sense of cohesiveness. We are all in this together. I would like to promote real dialogue from all sides, finding common ground to solve the real issues we face in our community at levels of government.
