There's a lot of hype about the so-called BLUE WAVE that threatens to shape the midterms but in nearby neighborhoods we're seeing a groundswell of support for the incumbent.
Take a look at this list that we rearranged just a bit to put the metro mayors first and then other Kansas supporters after the jump . . . Checkit:
Local Mayors Announce Support for Yoder's Re-Election
Thirteen local mayors announced their support for Kevin Yoder for re-election to represent Kansas' Third District in Congress. The list spans across all three counties in the district, and quotes from each are provided below.

Steve Shute - Mayor of Gardner

Marty Southard - Mayor of Louisburg
"As someone who has dedicated my life to working with children and trying to ensure they have a better future, it's so important to me that we have a voice in Congress that puts such an emphasis on education. Congressman Yoder is a nationally recognized leader for his support for schools and it's one of the many reasons Louisburg and our entire district needs him in Washington."
Donald Roberts - Mayor of Edgerton
"I am proud to endorse Kevin Yoder for US Congress. Kevin has worked hard to insure that we are well represented. He listens, then champions legislation that has a positive effect on us here in Kansas. Kevin is a leader and strong voice for Edgerton and the rest of Kansas."

Keep the gravy train moving.
ReplyDeleteThe Swamp lives.
$1 trillion annual deficits are back.
Thanks Yoder.
Yoder wins, the ex-wannabe cage fighter does not.
ReplyDeleteYoder has been the lead sponsor of two bills that create legal loopholes for more Third Worlders to enter this country. Yoder is a cuck and only cucks support Yoder.
ReplyDeleteif all politics are local, it's game over.
ReplyDeleteSidie 2020!
ReplyDeleteGrow up. Davids won't be primaried by last place Sidie in 2020.
ReplyDeleteShould be no surprise since the Democrat's platform is no ICE and no straws.
ReplyDeleteEndorsements by these big spending political hack cronies ranks up there with a KC Star endorsement.
ReplyDeleteA seal of approval from corrupt local officials only proves how swampy Yoder is. He's swimming, errr, skinny dipping in it.
I would vote for Sharice as the chief of the Lickahoe tribe.
ReplyDeleteSmoochie Smoochie Mayors!
ReplyDeleteIs it still tasting salty from the dip in the Dead Sea?
Yeah, Guys, don't act like fags!
ReplyDeleteIf you're going to kiss a butt, at least make Sharice's.
As a resident of Leawood, I appreciate and support Mayor Dunn, and I respect her endorsement of Yoder. I also have a staunch Democratic friend who fully supports Yoder after his assistance to my friend’s family with a VA matter.
ReplyDeleteIf Yoder did his job properly, the VA would be fixed. There wouldn't be a need to research one case at a time.
ReplyDeleteWhat he doing to help the thousands of other veterans? Nothing. He should have fixed the system.
Same with immigration. He fixes two individuals status, but whimpers about our broken system that he hasn't fixed and leaves ten of thousands shit out of luck.
Instead, he is naming post offices, errr, Quindaro township national historic status.
Yoder has added $7.9 Trillion to the debt since he took office in 2011 and has approved over $1 Trillion annual deficits for years to come.
ReplyDeleteCity leaders all have their hands out while Yoder is picking up the tab with the national credit card.
Go ahead and keep cheerleading your experienced "conservative" champion.
If Yoder used his one vote to spend $7.9 trillion since 2011 why didn't Obama veto the spending? He did have that almighty pen right? Think it through a bit.
DeleteI guess these mayors forgot about Yoder calling their towns dangerous after being overrun by illegals and drugs a few weeks ago on Fox & Friends.
ReplyDeleteYoder thinks JoCo is full of shithole towns run by MS-13.
BTW, why did he let that happen? He just stood by and watched?
yoder is imperfect and didn't personally solve the nation's problems!
ReplyDeletevote superman 2018!
I realize this is just a suspicion, but doesn't it seem that all of the statements released by these Mayors read just like one of "Go4KC's" little speeches?
ReplyDeleteRich people slopping at the public trough!
ReplyDeleteMost politicians, at all levels, are assholes. Our job is to pick the cleanest asshole. They go in poor and come out rich, or go in rich and come out much richer while claiming to be attending only to "the people's business".
ReplyDeleteIt takes a certain kind of turd to run for office.
Just curious, I assume the above posters are the same group who talks about Trump glowingly and shits on the MSM? Yet, a good chunk of you are bitching about Yoder???? So, wasn't Trump supposed to drain the swamp (ie Yoder)? I assume Trump is backing Yoder. You think you voted someone 'different' in for President, yet all you have is a grifter who is far worse than any other President we've had. He's turned the office into a money maker for him and his grifter family. Continue to eat it up folks.
