GOP P0wnz Downtown Kansas City Future?!?

It might not seem like it to the untrained eye or to hyper-partisan reactionaries on both sides of the aisle who sit around all day and pout on the Internets.

However . . . 

Recent election returns signal Kansas City downtown leadership giving a great deal of love, respect and support to Republican candidates.

Look closely and notice the "Downtown Council" political action committee sharing their special brand of cheerleader antics with Missouri GOP leadership.

The Downtown PAC earned a 50/50 split on election returns with only Republicans moving forward. 

Moreover . . .

As Downtown now hosts a great many EPIC condos and luxury living space, it's only natural that the political "character" of the community continues to evolve. 

And so . . .

Even as KCMO remains a firmly entrenched Democratic Party enclave . . . It's important to notice that residents inside the loop might not hold the same politics as their progressive leaders. 

Here's a quote to prove our point and more reading . . .

The PAC saw mixed results post-election day.  Two candidates moved on to the general election on November 5th while two did not win their races.

- Representative Patterson advanced from his primary race to the general election. He is slated to become Speaker of the House for the 2025 Legislative Session.  He has been an advocate for Downtown Kansas City and a strong supporter of both the South Loop Project and Historic Tax Credit reform.

- Business Executive and Civic Leader Pat Contreras did not advance in his State Senate District 7 primary against current State Representative Patty Lewis. We applaud Pat for his willingness to run for public office and look forward to working with Rep. Lewis in her new role as a state senator.

- State Senator Lincoln Hough narrowly lost his primary bid to be the Republican candidate for MO Lt. Governor on the November 5th ballot. With two more years on his current Senate term, we know we will continue to engage with Sen. Hough on issues important to Downtown KC.

- Gov. Mike Kehoe was successful in his campaign in the Republican primary for the MO Governor’s race and will be on the general election ballot this fall.
