Let's start this post out with a comparison. Let's compare local elections/national elections compared to HS football/the NFL.
Huh? You may ask. Actually it is very simple. Just like HS football trains athletes to go on to college level sports and then professional sports, local elections are the training grounds for politicians to move on up.
So, here are the candidates for local office, that, IMHO should NOT be elected:

Let's just take a brief look at what has been happening in this country. First, everyday, more and more evidence is coming out that the Democratic party hid and covered up Joe Biden's mental decline. Who controlled the autopen and put this country in great danger? Which party is the real threat to democracy,
The Steele Dossier which was used as "evidence" to impeach President Trump has now long been proven to be a fake, paid for by the Hillary campaign and the DNC. Now it is becoming evident that many senior Democrats and members of the deep state knew it was a phony and still allowed it to be used. So, which party and its leaders are the real threat to democracy.
Which party tried to claim that the Covid-19 virus was not created in a Chinese lab? Whooops, looks like it was, and more evidence is coming out to that effect. Which political party pushed for various quarantining acts that have actually pushed education back years in this country? How about closing businesses, forcing many into poverty.
Which political party allowed our country to be overrun with illegal immigrants, many who are criminals? Which political party wants illegal immigrants to be counted for congressional representation? Which political party wants illegal immigrants to be able to vote in our elections? Which political party wants to spend and has spent billions of dollars to house, clothe, feed and provide medical care to illegal immigrants, while we have citizens of our country, including veterans who have fought for this country, living in dire straits.
Which political party has been at the forefront to declare cities and states as sanctuary entities to provide cover for illegal immigrants?
Which political party has initiated actions to allow transgender athletes (biological males) to participate in women's sports? And, allowing these same individuals to utilize women's private spaces (bathrooms, showers, locker rooms, etc.)! How would these female candidates feel if a biological male showed up in their bathroom/shower/locker room? Would they feel comfortable? What about their own daughters? How would these male candidates feel if that happened to their wives/mothers/daughters?
It all starts with local elections. City councils, county commissions, school boards, etc. These are the training grounds. Our country is finally turning around. Inflation is coming down. Criminals are being sent back to their home countries. More and more companies are making investments in our country. Our allies are now contributing more to their own defense. Even the Chair of the Federal Reserve is now back tracking and saying that the tariffs are not creating inflation and that interest rates will come down. Even gas at the pump this Labor Day is the lowest in many years.
If you want to preserve our country, it starts at the local level.
Sidebar: One of the candidates for Shawnee City Council, Steele Reynolds, has still not filed his Statement of Substantial Interests according to the JoCo Election web site as of this morning See my post of 7/27/25. This is to show where a candidate and their spouse derive their income. So as to avoid conflicts of interest. That is why it is a Class B misdemeanor for not filing. Will the state ethics commission take action? BTW, he has not responded to an inquiry from me about this. Arrogance abounds with Dem party candidates. What is he hiding?
