I want to shout out to my great supporters who braved the cold, windy, Election Day yesterday to hold a campaign sign and hand out cards!  Due to their efforts, we gained several new supporters who pledged a vote, gave out a couple yard signs to new supporters and talked to a lot of old and new friends!

I wish to recognize the following volunteers who helped yesterday:

Rachel Kautz; Jason Reed; Kathy Place; Kathy Davis; Ronna Knetter and Phyllis Hartley.

Between them they covered through shifts in the day the polling locations at the Coves, Weatherby Lake, Platte City YMCA, Green Hills Mid-Continent Library, Thousand Oaks Oasis and Riverside Community Center.

While our Republican candidates did not fare well, the Homestead Act limiting assessment increases past and Weatherby Lake voters defeated two tax proposals.

Park Hill School Board will now have an extremely radical board that will no doubt push to put radical ideologies ahead of fundamental education of our students.  I expect many attempts at raising the district tax levies as well.  This will expose the urgency of why property tax reform is so badly necessary.

Republicans need to do a better job of getting out the conservative voter and turn the rising tide of left leaning office holders in Platte County.  That includes some tax and spend Republicans.  It is why so many of us have filed to replace current county office holders and bring solid conservative values to Platte County Government and be watchdogs of your tax dollars!

Here are two of my volunteers - Kathy Place on the left and Phyllis Hartley on the right.  Thanks All!  Look forward to a great Campaign Season!
