District 9 Election

 


 

This website is focused on District where 3 candidates are running for this board position. They are, in alphabetical order, Brad Patzer, Jana Shaver and Kent Runyan. All three have websites. I am partial to Brad but hope to provide you with a fairly even review here. My page of Opinion (not yet created) will be where the soapbox is.

 

All of the candidates websites are worth reviewing. They contain personal, professional and specific issue information. For the purposes of this website, I have defined the candidates as cnoservative or moderate. Liberal may be a possibility but until I understand each of them better and knowing the nature of the good folk of Kansas, we will begin with the first two of these labels.

 

If any candidate feels unfairly labeled, please contact me with your reasons why and I shall update this page accordingly.
