Collbran Job Corps students are interested in learning more about candidates and participating in the voting process. With that in mind, students recently invited Jana Bingham Gerow, candidate for Mesa County Commissioner, and Timothy Menger, Libertarian Party candidate for House District 54, to the center.

Following the visit Gerow wrote, “I had heard good things over the years, and experienced the responsible help of some students while working on a Habitat for Humanity Women Build with my staff several years ago. Still the site visit has truly brought my appreciation up to a new high level. Most outstanding was the courtesy, knowledgeable and responsible students who toured us and shared their projects with us. The facilities were also impressive, with a variety of training centers for various trades and education that surpass some at universities I have seen. It was a privilege to get a closer look at this great success story.”
