Last night ended a hard-fought primary race with 4 great candidates.  With your support, we came out with 53% of the vote.  I am surprised, honored and humbled by the victory.  I want to thank each of the other candidates – all three ran dedicated, strong campaigns.  We had to work very hard to get here, and I know we will work just as hard to get through November.  Thanks to everyone who has believed in or helped our campaign in some way.  We could not have done it without you.  I look forward to seeing you again as we march toward the general election this November.

Our campaign is proud to announce its recent endorsement by the Kansas City Star.  According to the Star, “Attorney Kevin McManus has been waging a smart and energetic campaign in this district, which includes parts of south Kansas City and Grandview. He is the top choice in a crowded Democratic field for the seat being vacated by Kate Meiners.”  Read more here.

Just a reminder that the potluck picnic will be held inside — so please come out,  rain or shine!  We’ll be at the The View Community Center (13500 Byars Road, Grandview, Missouri) on Sunday, July 11, 2010, from 3  - 5 pm.  Come and meet Kevin, enjoy good food and great company from all over the district.   If you can, please bring your favorite summer dish to share!  More information can be found here.

The last day to register to vote in the August 3rd Democratic Primary is July 7th.  Information on registering, voting absentee, or finding your polling place can be found at the Election Board for Kansas City or greater Jackson County.
