COMMENTS:

There are a lot of candidates that have filed. There are a couple of candidates that over the years have dedicated their life to improving Raytown and when you couple that with the possible victory of some Alderman candidates that would be great for the community, Raytown could be heading down a bright path for the future .

We will let you know who those candidates are once we make our endorsement recommendations very soon!!
