On #GivingTuesday I invite you to consider giving to support the @sgfcitizen. Without this news organization, there would be little coverage of public affairs in #SGF. And your gift will be matched 2X today. sgfcitizen.org/donate/.
Thrilled that @QuintonLucasKC paid us a visit here in SGF! Mayor Q’s got game and always brings the energy! – at Fremont Hills, MO

Not one of Cox's hospitalized cases is vaccinated. Not one. Please, if you haven't, consider being vaccinated. I beg you. I am seeing people who are otherwise healthy become very, very sick with the new variant. The saddest part is that it is now preventable.
Do not reward this despicable type of smear campaign. Both Danielle and Daniel would be great school board members and deserve your consideration on April 6th
Another round of hateful texts concerning @DanielOgunyemi0 and me was sent this afternoon. As we enter the Easter weekend, I remain committed to my value of loving our neighbors.
