Jackson County Democrats

Updated Democrat Club Calendar for October!

Find a local meeting or event and get involved!

The Lee's Summit Democrats continue to grow! Over 80 people packed the house for last night’s meeting.

People are ready to flip these House and Senate seats and send a message to the Republican supermajority, uphold the will of the voters or be voted out!

Thank you to Pattie Mansur and Mark Sharp for hosting a town hall in South KC to talk gerrymandering and the gutting of the initiative petition process.

And thank you Respect MO Voters and People Not Politicians for explaining the importance of the two petitions circulating!

Town Hall Tomorrow! Join Representatives Mark Sharp and Pattie Mansur at the South KC Chamber at 6pm.

Our voice in Congress and the ballot box are under attack by Republicans in Jeff City. Hear what is being done to stop them from carving up Kansas City and gutting the initiative petition process.

Made friends at the polls early today before work.

I always appreciate our Kansas City Election Board team. Polls close throughout Jackson County at 7:00PM.

Hear from our next State Senator Keri Ingle at a Legislative Town Hall tomorrow night in Blue Springs!

6PM at the Mid Continent Library - Blue Springs South Branch

Thank you to the Ward 8 Democrats for hosting a neighborhood Pizza party with Reps Pattie Mansur and Emily Weber!

Local committee people Marsha Lerenberg, Alex Sachs, Jared White, and Beth Low Smith have been working this year to organize at the local level and the results were shown today!

"Companies are gonna pay a lot of money for that... And they are very happy about it."

H-1B Visa will be $100,000 per year. Per employee. But don't worry, Trump says the companies love it.

I'm sure these costs won't be passed down to us in any way.

SPECIAL ELECTION

Voting begins soon for the upcoming Special Election on September 30th. Find info on how to vote below and visit the election board websites to learn more!

Join us on September 6th at Stoney Creek Hotel in Independence where we will welcome Senator Klobuchar, Congressman Emanuel Cleaver, and more as we prepare for the fight ahead!

This year we focus on capturing the energy of the moment and setting us up for success in 2026. 2025 is for organizing and building. In Jackson County we have seats to flip including State House, State Senate, and County Legislator seats. The money we raise is crucial to make this possible.

News that Trump has sent orders to MO Republicans to carve up the 5th falls right in line with the disrespect for the will of the voters we have seen from Republicans in our state. This year they voted to overturn our vote on paid sick leave, minimum wage, and to once again ban abortion in MO.

Senator Klobuchar has been a champion for the working class, including passing legislation to lower prescription drug costs that saved seniors $1.5 billion in one year. She fights for our farmers & rural communities & has worked hard to defend the fundamental values at the core of our Constitution.

We are thrilled to announce the Keynote Speaker for this year’s Jackson County Democrats Truman Gala will be Senator Amy Klobuchar!

We are facing unprecedented challenges and attacks from Republicans in DC and Jeff City, leaving it more important than ever to fight back. Join us next month!

Call to Action!

The Missouri Legislative Black Caucus has a press conference TOMORROW on the special session to split the 5th congressional district.

They are calling on elected officials, community leaders, and partners who oppose this effort to stand with them. We hope to see everyone there!

There are also 2 town halls coming up with Rep. Donna Barnes next Thursday and Beto O’ Rourke on August 4th

Representative Donna Barnes - Thursday July 31 - 6PM - Mid Continent Library Raytown

Beto O'Rourke - Monday, August 4th - 6:30 PM - The Gallery Event Space 61 E 14th St Kansas City, MO 64106

Here are the Democrat meetings happening this next month in Jackson County!

In July we still have the United Eastern Democrats meeting in Independence TONIGHT, the Midtown Democrats meeting this Saturday, then check out the full slate of clubs meeting in August!

Sign up at bit.ly/demkcpride to join us for this years Kansas City Pride Parade! We are marching with Democrats from across the region!

Thank you to Representatives Michael Johnson and Wick Thomas for hosting a town hall this morning! And thank you to Monica Curls for moderating and Northeast News for hosting!

There is a lot of fight left this session as Republicans continue to try to overturn the will of the people. Stay informed!

“We should respect the will of the people, and we will. It will be the law of the land…people are gonna vote and we have to respect that”

That was “candidate” Jon Patterson six months ago making campaign promises to the voters.

The people voted, it’s time to respect that.

Then last night, the House Republicans Jon lead shut down public testimony so they can move forward with their plan to ONCE AGAIN strip Missourians of the reproductive rights we just voted to restore.

So Jon, what happened?

🚨 House Republicans are one step closer to overturning our vote in Missouri…

Last November, Lee’s Summit Republican Jon Patterson, now Majority Leader, was re-elected by a smaller margin in his district than the amendment he is now determined to overturn.
