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.
