Today the Missouri State UAW PAC Council endorsed my campaign for Jackson County Legislature, 3rd District At Large. There are hundreds of working men and women of the United Auto Workers union living in and around the Jackson County area, and I am proud to have their support.
I am pleased to announce the endorsement of a number of Labor and Law Enforcement groups including the Carpenters union, Fire Fighters union, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 124 and Lodge #50 of the Fraternal Order of Police. The health of our community is dependent on a vibrant middle class, something that organized labor has worked to build and protect over the decades. It is an honor to receive their endorsements, and the endorsement of the men and women that help keep our community safe.
“I am pleased to endorse my friend Tony Miller for the Jackson County Legislature. A lawyer and former prosecutor, Tony will do a wonderful job putting his experience to work for the citizens of Jackson County.”
– Jason Kander, Missouri Secretary of State
Bethany and I are proud to be co-chairs for the CASA (Court-Appointed Special Advocates) Carnival this year. CASA is an organization that works within the Jackson County Family Court and receives financial support from Jackson County. CASA provides services in cases where there are allegations of abuse or neglect to children in this community. CASA volunteers give these children a voice in the court process and work to make sure they end up in stable, loving homes. The Carnival serves as a fundraiser and a tool to raise awareness about opportunities for volunteers to become a CASA. We hope you can join us in supporting the CASA Carnival.

From the Kansas City Star, published May 13, 2014:
The primary election isn’t until August, but even before Jackson County voters cast their ballots, this much is certain: The makeup of county legislature is going to see its biggest change in decades.
