Well my friend Susan Culpepper is going to announce a run in the county legislature in the 5th district for 2026 soon, she is a real conservative. Many years on the Blue Springs CC. Not sure what Sean is going to do yet, he is up in 2026 too. I knocked a ton of doors for him against Cleaver last year but it was a horrid loss, can't beat …
Well my friend Susan Culpepper is going to announce a run in the county legislature in the 5th district for 2026 soon, she is a real conservative. Many years on the Blue Springs CC. Not sure what Sean is going to do yet, he is up in 2026 too. I knocked a ton of doors for him against Cleaver last year but it was a horrid loss, can't beat Freedom Inc. Our assessment notice came today and our value went down!? Go figure. Not going to complain, like you said, every dollar counts! Our tax bill went up by $1200 in 23.
I wish Ms Culpepper luck. We need good conservative voices. I supported $ Sean, and would again. Cleaver is worthless.
There are a lot of dog walkers in my HOA. I spend hours talking with fellow female seniors. It is amazing how many still believe everything they hear on the local news.😵💫 If I can open one person's eyes, it is worth the effort.
And yes, keep talking!!! Although my 86 YO mom is the same, lifelong D who can't see that the party left her and watches CNN. Did get her to vote for Teresa Galvin, but refused to vote for Sean. She is in assisted living and doesn't drive so pays $0 property tax so didn't appreciate all his work helping seniors.
I don't get it - my team and I covered probably 2/3rds of Raytown at the doors - and it was overwhelmingly positive - a few said they were registering to vote for the first time. Only a handful of unhinged lefties, although only 1 in 4 or 5 actually open their doors when you knock. Also covered parts of Indep, Blue Springs and LS. Sean couldn't get the big donors to pony up as Cook Political Report had handicapped the race at -11 points, and evidently the big $ reads that. I thought, he'll get close and then run again in '26 and get the $$. NOPE. Also knocked a bunch of doors for Teresa Galvin in '22 - Waldo, Brookside, in addition to eastern Jack. Waldo and Brookside a waste of time - people asking if she was MAGA and her stance on abortion - even though those issues have nothing to do with Jackson County. Same results - Frank White walked away with it. She's pretty much pivoted to spending a lot of time in FL with her grandkids. I will think long and hard before I spend a lot of time supporting a county wide race next year. Patterson is my rep and he terms out as does Keri Ingle so will probably focus on state races next year. Ingle is already raising money to run for Cierpiot's SD 8 seat as he terms out too, so D's will be bringing their A game. She is odious but popular, unfortunately. LS is turning purple. And abortion will be on the ballot again as HJR 73 passed, and that will motivate D turnout, sadly.
My Rep (D36) is Anthony Ealy. He was not my choice. But, for a D, he's not bad. He is friendly, always shows up outside my polling place and sends out an excellent weekly email.
It's tough being a conservative in a blue district... But, not as vicious as when I lived in CA, NM and VA!
