It's that time again. We will have an election for mayor this year in Shawnee, November 7, 2023.
In a recent article in the Shawnee Mission Post it was noted that former councilmember Mickey Sandifer has filed to run for mayor. We will definitely have some comments about his candidacy going forward as we get closer to the election.
It was also noted in the article that our current mayor, Michelle Distler has not decided whether or not she wants to run for a third term. In the comment section after the article I posted the following:
"If Distler runs again will she use the JoCo Sheriff's booking photo on her literature from when she was arrested and charged with felony perjury? We also need to mention that she did successfully complete a diversion program so that the county would not prosecute. BTW, she herself has still not publicly apologized for her actions, both to the city and to the person whose name she falsely used."
Just in case she doesn't have a copy of that photo from her booking I have posted it here. It's public record, but this will save her the time to look it up.
