City and school district elections often times has more real effects on our lives than any other political elections.
There are two contested races for a seat on the Raytown Board of Aldermen and two of the candidates stand out as being thoughtful and stable in nature.
For Ward I: Ian Scott
For Ward II: Loretha Hayden
The contrast between Mr. Scott’s performance and that of his opponents in the League of Women Votes forum was sharp and revealing.
Ms. Hayden’s work in the community and business experience reflect the experience that would be a valuable addition to the Board of Aldermen. Her opponent’s most recent mailing of “Veterans in support of” with purposely blurred faces is in short just bizzarre.
For Raytown School Board: Alonzo Burton’s record of professionalism and energy has been a welcome addition and he has earned another term.
