TKC EXCLUSIVE FIRST FLASH POLLING FOR KANSAS CITY 4TH DISTRICT!!! BY GOLLY!!! COUNCIL LADY JOLIE SUFFERS SETBACK AND TRAILS CONTENDER GEOFF JOLLEY!!!
Jason Kander might have put 4th District Council lady Jolie Justus out of job in Kansas City politics after the upcoming election.
To wit . . .
ACCORDING TO TKC EARLY FLASH POLLING AMONG INSIDERS AND AVID READERS . . . COUNCIL LADY JOLIE JUSTUS IS NOW PLAYING CATCH UP AFTER HER MAYORAL CAMPAIGN CRASHED & BURNED!!!
Insiders advise that it'll be "better for the city if she runs for her old seat and loses." Accordingly, the results of our flash poll indicate Council lady Jolie trailing by 5 points with a +/- 2 & 1/2 margin of error.
Moreover, critics of the council lady are now identifying her weaknesses which include but aren't limited to:
- No neighborhood representation. She has spent the last 4 years working on the airport, conducting social justice seminars about the root causes of crime which didn't even include police and advocating for women's rights. Meanwhile, rising violence in Midtown, trash pick up problems, water main breaks and housing issues increasingly confront the 4th District.
- Council Lady Jolie's voting record on luxury living space subsidy have betrayed her social justice credentials. For anyone who bothers to check her record, it seems her allegiance to big money interests is far greater than commitments to schools, libraries and infrastructure.
- She wanted to move up and now she confronts a threat that could smack her down . . . Politically.
In an opening salvo, contender Geoff Jolley calls out her indecision . . .
Geoff Jolley: "Running for any office is about serving the community, not about having a seat until something else comes along."
Four more things to consider . . .
- Women are harder on women candidates than anybody else. Don't believe it??? Ask Hillary Clinton about all of those white lady voters who still side with Prez Trump.
- Insiders reveal Council Lady Jolie Justus BETRAYED Westport. Behind the scenes she said she would help move along the "street vacation" quietly and then SHE DOUBLE CROSSED WESTPORT BIZ LEADERS amid pressure from the urban planning crowd. Now, the Westport leadership hates her for all of the "progressive" push back they endured on a public safety project they wanted to pass through City Council without culture war debate.
- Council Lady Jolie has never faced a real challenger in her entire political career. She got her start in politics by jumping in a complicated four way primary race at the last minute, her support comes from establishment Democratic Party denizens who never questioned her lackluster legislative record in Jeff City and her council run was against a guy who meant well but only had less than 1/8th of her money to attempt a challenge.
- Finally, the 4th has changed over the past 4 years . . . Granola progressive hippies no longer dominate Midtown politics and more critical condo, luxury apartment and big-mortgage owners might not succumb to Jolie's "up with the people" rhetoric.
And so our flash polling suggests she's losing ground with women, higher income residents, a sizeable contingent of Latinos who still live within the 4th AND men of all income levels, creeds & colors.
You decide . . .
Somewhere, Jason Klumb is laughing very loudly while drinking a $9 latte.
ReplyDeleteDon't miss the big picture here, we're only talking about 10 to 12 thousand votes maximum. This is the most expensive district in the midtwest where you can spend thousands per vote and still not be assured of victory.
DeleteAlthough I do think what Jolie did to Westport was disgraceful.
So Kander screwed Jolie over? It's really disgusting what a guy has to do to get ahead. But I will say that it might be one of the greatest things he ever accomplished in his career.
DeleteThanks Jason!
Jolie runs, Jolie wins. When will you learn? She is going to cost this guy as lot of money.
ReplyDeleteJolie is toast, stick a fork in her, she’s done, kaput, finished!
ReplyDeleteOn to getting rid of the rest of the worthless freckles council!
ReplyDeleteThat's just what you need K.C. a mentally ill queer.....GROSS
Yes white ladies side with Trump because Hillary Clinton gets off on 40 yr old men raping 12 yr old little girls.
@ 7:02 - I have no idea what your rambling post is about, but we know for a fact that Trumpoleon is the one who supported the Old man who rapes little girls!
ReplyDeleteI didn't like Clinton, and I don't like Justus, but little "Pissrants" such as you only make me want to reload!
Yeah, "up with the people rhetoric" from a sellout who doesn't even know that a fifth of her constituents are in her District!
ReplyDeleteI don't care about her gender or personal preferences, but she's nothing more than a shill for the Developers, and her vote is for sale to the highest bidder - get her out!
7:28 we need to make the great president Trump king, eliminatethe presidency and make him permanent king and the wonderful and beautiful Melania Queen! It would be the greatest thing to happen! MAGA bitches!
ReplyDeleteJolie is most responsible for screwing up the Airport project! Her attempt to steer the project to one of her campaign contributors was the most corrupt act in the City since Pendergast!!
ReplyDeleteThe Airport project is still a mess, and getting more expensive every week. Those drinks Burns & Mac plied Jolie with cost KC hundreds of $Millions.
Jolie is banking on the gay community to keep her council seat. Unfortunately, she has more than just one group of voters to please. Part of her district is north of the river. We live in the chunk of KCMO Clay County that was hacked off to keep the 4th District mostly white and wealthy. I don't recall her ever visiting up here. She may not even remember we exist. But we'll remember come election day.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Jolie will have to become a switch hitter.
ReplyDeleteGross
ReplyDeleteSaw Justus arrive at a toy train photo op in her new Cadillac Luxury SRX SUV one time. LOL
ReplyDelete7:32: +1,000!
ReplyDeleteJolie eats a lot of pussy
ReplyDeleteIN Jackson County and KCMO, people like Justus NEVER go away.
ReplyDeleteEspecially when they spend the bulk of their time in their current job working on figuring out where they can land next.
Many tens of millions of dollars sloshing around with gigs in local government, nonprofits, consulting gigs, lobbying operations, and on and on.
Maybe she'll even run for the Missouri legislature again.
Even the names never change.
^^^^She should be fine. Any numbers of developers, streetcar constructors, and other assorted grifters owe her.
ReplyDeleteOh well she can always sell Avon AND Mary Kay,
ReplyDeleteinteresting analysis.
ReplyDeleteyeah, anybody who didn't address crime much would seem vulnerable.
Lifelong D, used to be a JJ fan, but there is more to politics than identity politics,gays, lesbians and trans issues and selling out to developers
ReplyDeleteFat and/or ugly chicks don’t win, it’s a scientific fact
ReplyDeletean outsider view: her branding and name recognition is so strong that it's got to be a big factor.
ReplyDeleteI will not be voting for her. The has done nothing for the 4th or any other office she has held!
ReplyDeleteThe bloom is off this rose. Time for her to find gainful employment in the public sector. Maybe at the Shady Lady, it fits.
ReplyDeleteWhat is Kander doing now or next?
ReplyDeleteHe has so much momentum but he needs to keep it going.
Some kind of retail, street-level push might be in order.
He's not going to win the mayor position on Face the Nation.
^^^^^^^ @ 5:28, He is sucking down a cool one in Waldo planning to extend the street car down to 75th St next.
ReplyDeleteEver notice how slimy Jason and Justus and Jermaine are. Jolly's husband or what ever he is is one step up and Wagner is one step down. Maybe it is time to elect an outsider.
