Who will you vote for as Mayor of Kansas City Missouri? There are now 6 candidates running for the position to represent us. I had a lot of questions as did a few of my friends, and I did some research to pull together some of the recent information available in the local press on Kansas City Mayoral candidates. I share an actual radio debate from KCUR a day before the election, a tv news story and articles from print reporters who follow the candidates closely.
I am so excited to see how this field that started out as 7 candidates who wanted to represent us - will be narrowed down! I've seen them in 3 different candidate forums, and each time I learned something new. I went in with a different top 2 than I ended up with. I'll check the finalists out in forums a couple of times before the general elections, and hope that you will too.
For more information on the KC Mayor candidates' views on:
- Mass rapid transit
- Economic development and bringing business to the city
- Housing issues (KSHB tv news story)
- Will citizens show up to vote?
- ...as well as assessment of their strengths and weaknesses
- Please check out KansasCitySouth.com.
I will also do an indepth review of the the top two Kansas City Mayoral candidates that advance from the Primary Election on February 22, 2011 that will face off on March 22 in the General Election. Watch for details on the 6th District/South Kansas City at large and in district Kansas City Council candidates, also.
I can't wait to sit in front of my tv election night and watch the returns come in! Really! I'll report back in.
