Rep. Jason Kander Thanks Secretary Carnahan for Her Tremendous Service; Announces Candidacy for Secretary of State
KANSAS CITY, Mo. –Rep. Jason Kander (D-Kansas City) issued the following statement today regarding the announcement by Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan that she won’t be seeking reelection:
“I want to express my deep gratitude to Secretary Carnahan for her years of service to Missouri. In a state full of accomplished public servants her achievements stand out. Her dedication to public service has made this state demonstrably better. From fighting aggressively to protect our senior citizens from fraud to ensuring fair elections year in and out, Secretary Carnahan has led from the front. I am confident that in her future endeavors she will continue to stand up for Missourians, and I look forward to continue working with her in the future.
“It is important that the next Secretary of State continues moving the office forward in the most efficient and effective manner. Our next Secretary of State must be someone who knows the difficulties small businesses face. Our next Secretary of State must be someone who has a record of fighting fraud and corruption in government. Our next Secretary of State must be beholden to no one but the voters. Our next Secretary of State must be committed to working every day to making Missouri stronger.
“I am the son of a cop and a juvenile probation officer. I am the husband of a small business owner. I am the product of an extended family of foster brothers. I am a veteran of the war in Afghanistan. I am running for Secretary of State and I look forward to talking with citizens from across Missouri about my vision for the office.”

Got his email only 30 minutes after she announced she wasn't running. Classy.

ReplyDeletehe loves it
True dat. That's how he sent out this message.
ReplyDeleteWhile I think Kander is a decent guy, the MEC is a mess of undefined and muddy rules and regulations thanks to him. I don't see how making him SoS is going to help.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the Carnahans will finally move to a state that better represents their values of gangster government. How about Illinois or New York. I'm sure they would love to have you.
What a joke
ReplyDeletepuke!
ReplyDeleteLander, Sanders, and Talboy are all users and takers. Nothing good has yet come from any of these scamming lawyers...can't make it at a law practice = run for political office.
ReplyDelete8:28, Along with "Lander/Kander", don't forget to add the crime and corruption element of Jackson County that had these people in it's pocket during the botched elections in 2010.
ReplyDeleteMight want to hold off on the victory party Jason, rumors are heating up about other Jackson county officials getting in that race.
ReplyDeleteKander is a lawyer ... who has never tried a case.
