Theresa Galvin Launches Kansas City 5th District At-Large Council Campaign

Jackson County Legislator Theresa Cass Galvin didn't have much luck dethroning Executive Frank White and so . . . Now she's attempting to take her game across the street to City Hall. 

To wit . . . 

SOUTH KANSAS CITY CONSERVATIVES CELEBRATE REPUBLICAN GALVIN'S FORAY INTO COUNCIL POLITICS!!!

We all pretend these elections are non-partisan but that hasn't been true for a long time.

Overall . . . 

The 5th District At-Large is an important position given that the home-district is dominated by Freedom, Inc BUT a Freedom candidate is a "tougher sell" city wide. 

Quick interlude . . . Credit to AWESOME TKC TIPSTERS who share a bit of repurposing and a sign of excitement . . .

Consider . . .

Councilman Lee Barnes, Jr. was a solid Freedom, Inc. vote but mostly stayed above the fray during his tenure. 

Meanwhile . . .

On the Legislature, Theresa Cass Galvin was a force of nature and unafraid to challenge Exec Frank White. If elected, her supporters are hoping she takes that same spirit to council chambers and calls out Mayor Q on some of his questionable policies.

To be fair . . . 

Despite a vast array of political connections, experience and skill . . . Insiders weren't impressed with Galvin's campaigning skills. 

She wasn't able to put a lot of money together and didn't seem willing to mug for the cameras or social media attention.

Make no mistake . . . 

There are two factions of KC activists hoping to claim this spot . . . If Galvin wants it, she's going to have to work harder than she did in her losing effort at the courthouse. 

Developing . . .
