LEXINGTON, Ky. – Fifth District Magistrate Candidate Clifford P. Jasper is challenging other area candidates to save lives.
Jasper, a regular blood donor with Kentucky Blood Center, invites all candidates running in the upcoming November election to give blood in the next couple of weeks.
“What I’m trying to do is get people interested in donating,” said Jasper who gives blood in memory of his sister Roberta Jasper Dykes who passed away in March.
Jasper encourages others to donate blood in honor of a friend or loved one who has had blood transfusions.
