	Commissioner Jennifer Krouse was elected to the Jefferson County Commission in 2022.  Before that, she spent 28 years as a mother and homemaker. During COVID, she became increasingly frustrated with governmental infringements on our personal freedom.  This came to a head when her three youngest children (now ages 18, 9,. And 7) were put into “virtual learning” and then forced masking.  Disgusted with what she saw, she decided to run for elected office.  Her campaign slogan “Faith, Family, Freedom” is more than a motto: it is how she lives her life.
