Rebeca Amezcua-Hogan Announces Kinda Commie Kansas City Council Run

She might even have union support already . . .

Here's what we admire . . .

She's cosplaying a local Latina . . . 

But she doesn't have much in common with most Latinas in Kansas City. Don't get it twisted, we're sure her Spanish diction is PERFECT but she's not a REALLY Westsider or a Midtowner. She's a professional Latina AND a professional activist.

Not that there's anything wrong with that . . . 

Council dude Eric Bunch is termed out and even if she is a commie . . . She'll still be better than than COMPLETELY WORTHLESS placeholder politico.  

The reality . . .

Getting worked up about in-district council contests is a waste of time if only because they're decided by such a small margin with very little interest beyond special interests.

Still . . .

We can't deny that her candidacy has scared a few of our old school friends . . . And maybe that might "inspire" them to find a better candidate.

For now, with a few union shout outs and local progressive love . . . She's stepped into an early lead.

Check her recent announcement and local pitch . . .  

"I bring the energy and vision that our neighbors need, built on years in public service at both the City and the County, experience as a community organizer–where I have fought for both tenant rights and the needs of non-English speaking Kansas Citians, and years volunteering as an elected leader in my neighborhood. It's time for new, progressive ideas to build a city that meets the needs of its residents and champions everyone's voice."
