TKC has been attending Mayoral and City Council forums on a hit and miss basis, I like to surprise people and I never want to give away my routine (blog, sleep, eat, rinse, repeat) but what I've noticed is there are a few candidates who are putting in a lot of work. I know I'll miss a few name of candidates here but more than any other I think TKC Readers should know that Brandon Ellington is putting in a lot of footwork to reach out to voters attending Election Forums and Debates in Kansas City.
Today he was out in full force with supporters attempting to deliver his message at Kansas City election forums.
Both Tracy Ward and Scott "Mr. Jolly" Taylor have been attending a great many forums. Mike Burke is simply ALL OVER TOWN shaking hands with folks.
Anne McGregor is everywhere as well and John Crawford can also be seen regularly at local forums talking with voters. The rest of the 4th At-Large candidates just haven't been keeping a very high profile.
Here's the thing . . . Meeting people, talking with folks one-on-one IS the "magic bullet" that beats the Kansas City endorsement game and mass media marketing efforts. Candidates out in public and meeting the community and doing their best by talking to people deserve credit for their efforts . . . It's worth noting that Brandon Ellington is leading the pack in this regard.
