Support the Lewis Scholarship—Invest in Marion County’s Future

Jim Lewis spent a lifetime serving Marion County—with compassion, conviction, and a deep belief in the power of education. From his years as Fire and Police Commissioner to his tenure as State Senator and Chair of the Marion County Democratic Party, Jim’s guiding force has always been the welfare of others.

Inspired by his mother, Margaret Anderson Lewis, and joined by a family devoted to public service, Jim has championed teachers, students, and civic engagement at every turn.

Now, his legacy continues through the Lewis Scholarship—a $500 award created to encourage local students to become active participants in democracy. This scholarship isn’t just financial support. It’s a seed of leadership. It’s a way to honor Jim’s decades of service and ensure that the next generation of Marion County voters, organizers, and changemakers have the tools to lead.

Your donation helps us grow this scholarship, expand its reach, and invest in the voices that will shape our county’s future. Whether it’s $25 or $1,000 - every gift helps us say: We believe in our youth. We believe in our community.

💙 Give today and help us cultivate civic pride, one student at a time.
