Kansas City Leaders Urge Engagement Against Political Violence

The response to the second assassination attempt against Prez Trump was more subdued locally with fewer elected officials offering their sympathies or support.

However . . .

Those who didn't downplay headlines offered a more uplifting message: That locals should engage politically and reject violence.

Here's a quote from a local report:

Leaders believe voters feel a need to further engage in politics after a second attempted assassination on former President Donald Trump Sunday.

"The last thing we can do right now is retreat; we all need to lean in, we need to get activated, and we need to get involved," said Jeanna Repass, the chair of the Kansas Democratic Party.

At the Johnson County Republican Party headquarters, Chairwoman Maria Holiday handed out roughly 40 Trump-Vance signs in several hours.

"I see people coming in who say, ‘I’ve never had a yard sign. I don’t know what I’m doing, can you help me? How can I help, how can I get involved?'" Holiday said.
