Raytown General Election
RAYTOWN SCHOOL BOARD
Sam Madsen
We had the pleasure of attending a pubic meeting in which Mr. Madsen spoke of explaining to his children that Pop Tarts to not Grown on Trees. Which showed that only can he come up with a nifty phrase, he also recognizes the importance of nutrition in our schools. This is one candidate who thinks outside of the box. Mr. Madsen is a strong believer in reducing class sizes and the importance of one on one tutoring when students are struggling to keep their grades up.
ALDERMAN, WARD 1
Theresa Tush
Theresa Tush has based her campaign on a promise to bring an
independent point of view to the Raytown Board of Aldermen. We take her slogan,
“An Alderman who will listen” as an
indication she will remember her roots and place the needs of taxpayers ahead
of the self-appointed power brokers at City Hall. Theresa shared her philosophy regarding political campaigning. She told us, “Campaigning
is as much about listening. as what a candidate has to say."
ALDERMAN, WARD 2
Ryan Huffman
Ryan hopes to be a “bridge” between voters and City Hall. He shared with us what he has heard from voters. “Without a doubt there is a need to improve Police response to the needs of the public". Mr. Huffman has attended every meeting of the Board of Aldermen since he filed for office last December. That kind of dedication deserves consideration. We hope the votes in WArd 1gree by casting their votes for Ryan Huffman as their new Alderman in Ward 2.
ALDERMAN, WARD 3
Morris Melloy
Morris Melloy made a name for himself when he helped lead the fight against
the re-zoning of residential property at 53rd and Blue Ridge
Boulevard to allow a liquor store and gasoline station in a residential neighborhood. His
involvement in Raytown led him to create a popular Facebook page named Raytown
Community Awareness.
Morris has been a frequent public speaker at Raytown Board of Aldermen meetings. He has proven many times to voters in Ward 3 that he is on their side when dealing with City Hall.
Morris is opposed by Ryan Myers. Mr. Myers supported the attempt to build a commercial liquor store / gasoline station in the middle of an established residential neighborhood. He also pushed through a 7% sewer tax increase after City Staff recommended a 5% increase.
Clearly, Myers does not have the best for his constituents in mind. As Mr. Melloy is fond of saying . . . it is time for change at Raytown City Hall. We hope he is right.
ALDERMAN, WARD 4
Rodney Fritz
Rodney Fritz is a unique individual. He coached his stepson to an
Olympic Gold medal at the Summer Olympics in Paris, France. He founded an
accredited track and field club named the Kansas City Sonics which promotes Track and Field programs throughout the KC area. He is a firm believer that through organized sports programs our young learn the value of sportsmanship and team work. Both of which are important values as they mature into adults.

I
would like to see what positive things Ryan has actually done. He is alot of
hot air, but nothing has made Raytown a better place. He loves to talk like he
know what is going on. Look at how he said we wouldn't be negatively impacted
why appraisals hit. This was after the news made it clear higher appraisals. It
gets very sinister when we look at the fact Myers is a professional appraisal
error. Not taking questions and not listening to those who elected him shows
the failure with his upbringing and has one wondering if it was his parents on
the education he received from the Raytown School District. In either case he
is a black eye to both of them and our city.

Why
doing we have people on Facebook and running around town saying the police
department is under staffed?
I have heard our police chief say that all positions are now filled.
I have heard our Mayor say the same thing.
Why are people still pushing what is now a lie?
Why are the police not writing tickets?
