A Unifying Endorsement for Platte County

As my six-part biography series concludes tomorrow with the final chapter, I received the ultimate testament to professional integrity.

I am profoundly honored to receive the endorsement of former Presiding Commissioner Ron Schieber in my campaign for Platte County Clerk.

Many of you remember 2014, when Ron and I were primary opponents for Presiding Commissioner. Today, we stand together. Ron knows what this Courthouse needs—precise systems, fiscal discipline, and a leader who shows up 100% of the time.

Having the support of the leader I once challenged is a powerful signal of respect and unity for our county.

Thank you, Ron. Let’s get back to work.

Former Platte County Presiding Commissioner Ron Schieber Endorses Russ “Wojo” Wojtkiewicz for County Clerk

PLATTE COUNTY, MO – Today, Republican candidate for County Clerk Russ “Wojo” Wojtkiewicz announced a major endorsement from former Presiding Commissioner Ron Schieber. The endorsement marks a significant moment of unity within the Platte County Republican base.

Schieber, who served as Presiding Commissioner from 2015 to 2022, and Wojtkiewicz were primary opponents in the 2014 election for the commission’s top seat.

“I have known Russ Wojtkiewicz for decades. I am supporting and voting for Russ for Platte County Clerk because he is a man of his word,” said Schieber.  “I know he will keep his promise to bring better transparency, accountability, and fiscal responsibility to the Clerks office for the citizens and taxpayers of our county. Join me and vote for Russ for Platte county clerk.”

Wojtkiewicz, a professional broadcast engineer with a background in complex media and data delivery systems, welcomed the endorsement.

"Ron Schieber set a high bar for fiscal responsibility in this county," said Wojtkiewicz. "To have his endorsement—especially given our history as competitors—shows that this campaign is about more than politics. It’s about ensuring that the Clerk’s office is run with the precision and transparency the taxpayers deserve."

Wojtkiewicz is currently concluding a six-part series titled "Who is Russ “Wojo” Wojtkiewicz and Why Does He Deserve Your Vote?" detailing his deep Missouri roots and technical qualifications. The final chapter will be released Friday, April 24th.
