Columbia Missourian, Oct 2024 –"Janet Thompson has been a Boone County commissioner for 12 years, but she doesn’t think her work is done.
"In particular, Thompson hopes to spend the next four years helping people who are incarcerated get access to mental health and substance abuse treatment. She also puts a high priority on expanding the availability of affordable housing in Boone County, increasing access to education and keeping juveniles out of the criminal justice system."
