Issues
Lafayette is losing young people. How well we address that issue will shape our community in the years to come.
We’ve spent the last several months asking young voters about the factors that shape their decisions to leave or stay in Lafayette. In all, we’ve heard from 450 voters and counting. Read more about how we’re covering the election here.
