About the Event
Ever wonder how local decisions actually get made? Join the Knox Young Dems Observer Corps! We are civically engaged watchdogs who attend local government meetings to ensure transparency and accountability.
The Knox County Commission makes decisions every month on land use, healthcare, infrastructure and more - decisions that will shape Knox County for the next 30 years. Currently, the 18–35 demographic is underrepresented in these rooms. We are changing that by becoming the "eyes and ears" of the community.
As an Observer, you’ll learn how government works firsthand by watching proceedings and reporting back on issues that impact our community - from land use and healthcare to education. You don’t need to be an expert; you just need to be present.
What we do:
Attend local County Commission meetings.
Observe and take notes on the conduct and content of the meeting.
