Why the April 7th Election is a "Must-Vote" for Platte County

Now that I’ve officially filed for County Clerk, I’m focused on the issues that hit your wallet right now. On Tuesday, April 7th, we have two major decisions to make that will impact our cost of living here in Platte County.

Here is where I stand:

YES on the Homestead Property Tax: Our homeowners deserve a break. This measure helps prevent people from being priced out of their homes by runaway assessments by limiting property tax increases on primary residences at 5% or the rate of inflation for all homeowners, regardless of age.

NO on the KCMO 1% E-Tax: I strongly oppose the Earnings Tax. Your hard-earned money should stay in your pocket or support our local Platte County economy, not fund more government spending across the city and county lines!

The Clerk Connection: The County Clerk serves as the Secretary to the Board of Equalization.  If I am elected, I will use that seat to fight the "assessment creep" that makes these tax measures so necessary in the first place.  I am personally meeting with the Platte County Assessor to discuss the assessment process and what can be done to protect property owners.

Let’s send a message in April, and then let’s finish the job in August!
