Happy Monday, Platte County! We are kicking off another busy week, and with the August primary drawing closer, the operational differences between the campaigns in this race are becoming incredibly clear.

This past week, Team Wojo was out in full force across the community. After a week of knocking on doors, Saturday morning we enjoyed visiting with citizens and vendors at the Parkville Farmers Market, taking in the incredible homegrown produce and unique crafts created right here by local Platte County farmers and artisans.

On Saturday afternoon, we headed over to support the "Know Norm Run" Poker Run fundraiser benefiting Northland kids. While only one member of our crew actually rode a motorcycle, the rest of Team Wojo had a fantastic time catching up with my friends Jim Eaton and the boys, enjoying the live music of Outlaw Jim and the Whiskey Benders, and mingling with a wonderful crowd of charitable patriots.

Being out on the pavement and talking directly to taxpayers keeps our campaign entirely focused on the real world—not courthouse politics.

Lately, we’ve heard a lot of vague campaign rhetoric about "modernizing processes" and "bringing efficiency" to the County Clerk’s office. But when you look beneath the surface, the only concrete solution being offered by the competition is changing the office hours to close at 5:00 PM instead of the current 4:00 PM.

Don't get me wrong—taxpayer accessibility matters. But let’s look at the actual business math.

Adding an hour to the end of the day doesn't really help "working families" if those exact families are also working until 5:00 PM Monday through Friday. If a candidate were truly focused on modern customer service, they would be asking why we aren’t exploring a 6:00 PM closing time, or adjusting for select Saturday morning hours once or twice a month.

As a professional engineer who ran a business for 32 years, I know that true efficiency doesn't just mean making staff sit at a desk longer to process forms. True modernization means using secure, updated technology so that a busy working family can easily handle their interactions with county government online, without ever having to take time off work to drive down to the courthouse in the first place.

We don't need superficial, half-measure fixes. We need a Clerk who understands data, optimizes staffing, respects taxpayer dollars, and brings real business sense to county operations.

Our team is back at it this week, using data tools to map out our next geofenced neighborhoods to keep our ground game moving forward systematically. If you agree it’s time for a non-politician who delivers real blueprints instead of empty rhetoric, consider joining our team, putting a sign in your yard, or supporting us online.

Have a wonderful, safe, and productive week ahead!
