Chairman McGee Responds to County Executive’s Comments and Attempt to Delay the Election

KANSAS CITY, MO — In response to public statements from the County Executive Jackson County Legislature Chairman DaRon McGee issued the following statement:

“The Legislature has done its job. We acted unanimously—as required by the Charter—to schedule a special election within 60 days of the certification of petition signatures. The County Executive has a legal and logistical responsibility to act swiftly and ensure this election can be carried out in accordance with the County Charter.

My job is to follow the law. Our vote wasn’t about a stadium deal or any other issue. It was about honoring a process laid out in our Charter—a process that thousands of Jackson County voters engaged in.

I’ve heard the frustrations: from seniors facing rising property taxes to small business owners struggling to stay open. This petition effort is one way our residents chose to be heard.

To delay or obstruct that vote isn’t just unnecessary—it’s a disservice to the very people we’re supposed to represent.

What’s needed now is not delaying tactics and creating imaginary conspiracies from the County Executive. What’s needed is a commitment from our county government to see this through fairly, transparently, and on time. We owe that to the people of Jackson County. They deserve action—not more uncertainty.”
