It looks like John Bartosh's endorsements don't mean much on this side of the county.
Ed Scorse used Bartosh's endorsements in an ad that aired in the days before the election, but it all it got him was a distant third place in the race for Jasper County Western District commissioner.
Former Joplin R-8 Board of Education member Mike Landis, in his second try at a Commission seat, won a four-way race receiving 1,782 votes to 1,456 for former Joplin mayor Mike Woolston, 1,266 votes for Scorse and 246 votes for James Pierce.
Sheriff Randee Kaiser was elected to his fourth term, cruising to a 9,705 to 3,011 vote over challenger Ethan Snow.
Incumbent Tom Flanagan was re-elected Eastern District Commissioner in a four-way race with 2,706 votes to 1,834 for Drew Evans, 1,600 for Alan Snow and 1,330 for Mark Lashley.
Shannon Karraker defeated Vanessa Bruton for county treasurer 6,752 to 5,117.
All of the above candidates are Republicans. No Democrats filed for county offices.
Sheriff Kaiser has done a great service to Jasper County. Integrity and respect from his office and deputies.

ReplyDeleteWay to go Mike! Landis 2024
ReplyDeleteShould we Start the New Campaign - Recall Mike Landis Now - 2024!
ReplyDeleteDue to circumstances beyond my control I was unable to vote. I am so disappointed. First election I've missed voting, in over 40 years.
ReplyDelete5:27PM - Says the Mike Landis - Mindset - Little Man Big Ego - I would step back and be very very quiet - about Adult things - you have no knowledge of.
ReplyDelete5:27 PM - Mike and his brother are Crooks - Bob got caught, Mike hasn't yet - I said, yet, it is coming!
ReplyDeleteThe applicants for Commissioner was disappointing to say the least. Two guys that have been proven to be useless incompetent crooks, one of them winning probably due to the average voter going "derr, i saw this name a lot around town and sound familiar, guess i'll mark this one." And two old wet paper bags.
ReplyDeleteAt least Kaiser will keep his position, thank goodness.
