After Recall: Insiders Push Alissia Canady For Jackson County Executive

Apropos for #TBT we check in with a former friend of the blog and a Kansas City power player who shouldn't be overlooked. 

As we reported before anybody else . . . 

The recall against Exec Frank White is more serious than most voters understand and will likely prove successful. 

But that leaves us with an important question . . . 

Who is gonna be the next Exec?!?

Here's one answer that sparks our interest . . .

INSIDERS NOW PUSH FORMER KCMO COUNCIL LADY ALISSIA CANADY TO RETURN IN TRIUMPH TO THE COURTHOUSE!!!

She did work in the prosecutor's office for a time even during her council tenure . . . 

For those who don't remember . . .

She avoided controversy as council lady for the most part or at least until she endured a highly publicized showdown with a police officer regarding her tags. 

She tried running for the Guv Lite spot but didn't garner support from Missouri Democrats who haven't managed to build a stronghold beyond some of the nicer homes in Hyde Park. 

However . .  .

Insiders offer our www.TonysKansasCity.com blog community a reason for her consideration . . .

- She's one of the very few politicos in the Southeast part of town to earn a win WITHOUT help from Freedom, Inc.

- A lifelong KC resident . . . She has a strong network of connections to both neighborhood & biz leaders. 

- The historic angle . . . She could be the first Black woman leader at the Courthouse and that's progress that local Dems would proudly tout amid a conservative wave that swept the nation in 2024.

It's not all upside . . . 

We've also heard Ms. Canady is playing it cool when it comes to pressure to run. She has a successful practice and not much enthusiasm to return to the municipal spotlight.

Still . . . 

What we want our readers to know is fact . . .

There's a scramble to find more candidates to replace the County Exec if/when Frank White is recalled and Ms. Canady is one of the most impressive names we're hearing.
