Martin Rucker visits Parkville

I met the current 29th District state representative Martin Rucker who is running for the Missouri State Senate for the 34th District. Let me see...the current senator is Charlie Shields...he's never been in our store. Mr. Rucker was in today. I don't know Shields' politics, but I suspect there would be little about them with which I would agree.
I'm going to watch this race with renewed interest simply because Mr. Rucker stopped by specifically to meet me, Carol and Leif in our store. It reminds me of the very first time Mike White ran for office in Jackson County. That's a long story, but because of his personal efforts Carol and I voted for him and, as I recall, he won by one vote!
All politcs are local.
