jake is a full partner to the coalition — so much so he carries nasal and injectable Narcan in his pickup in the event he encounters someone who has overdosed on opioids — he and his fellow commissioners are also laboring to create new jobs. https://medium.com/@jakemellor/mellor-33-is-the-youngest-county-commissioner-in-the-state-71257973f388
