If clay’s 40% holds, I will believe that a legitimate challenger could have beaten Lucas.
Edit: ratio has shifted

Results show Manley is ahead. Duncan way ahead in 6th District. Michael Kelley behind Darrel Curls.

Both basically in a dead heat. French HAS to win! It’s really the only race I care about.

Short & French are the only ones I really care about.

Damn. It's over for Short. At this point the best hope is Lindsay French can drag across the finish line. 87% in...if she holds we'll still be looking at a much better council.

Ellington, gone. French & Rogers big upgrades. Rea & Curls will be fine. Only wild card really is Duncan.
Overall, much better it seems.

Wtf happened to Short? Or should I say wtf happened to James? He was a really popular mayor his endorsement didnt seem to help Short nor did it help Jolie when she ran for mayor.

Generally, I'm pleased with the result. Every candidate I wanted to win, did so (save for Justin Short).

Experience. Shorts weakness against Rea was a fairly weak resume, and it might not be wrong. Rea has a fairly strong resume of both political and law background. As much as I probably agree with candidates like Bunch and Mike Kelley, their inexperience really shows. They talk and promote social issues in stead of doing some of the hard work this city really needs. They cave to KC Tenants because they lead with emotions instead of strength and power. They’re unpolished when they speak and not cutthroat consensus builders. As much as I want walkability and bike lanes, this city needs some negotiators, arm twisters, business closers. Sorry to say for Justin, but cruise ship entertainer probably isn’t the background needed.

Justin needs to get elected as a neighborhood president, and maybe serve on some city boards first.

Justin spoke at our neighborhood meeting a while back and his shpeel reminded me of someone running for high school student council.

Willet and Rea I found advertising very strong versus their opponents. Signs, mailers, neighborhood meetings etc. Plus Rea's work as a prosecutor plays well in Northland. While I agreed w Shorts stances more (housing and transit should be some of the top priorities) I understand why Rea won.
His whole platform was to reinstate KC NoVa seemed kind of one-dimensional tbh.

What happened with NoVa? Didn't it work really well in 2014 and fell off since?

Ryana Park-Shaw chosen as Mayor Pro Tem by Lucas. East side districts getting a lot of representation for being the smallest number of residents per district and losing at a rapid pace.

Uh, okay. Does that mean your Pro Tem Choice would always be from the Northland or greater downtown? Nothing else is growing in KCMO...
