STEVE SHUTE HAS BEEN ENDORSED BY THE GARDNER NEWS

Today, Steve was honored to garner the endorsement of The Gardner News.

In handing out its endorsement, the newspaper's editorial board praised Steve's "informed, intelligent, positive" stance on issues, and commended him for his efforts to "rise above the 'intermodal' fray."

"...a lot of what Shute has been saying has been lost in the clamoring of a polarized ballot," the News continued.  "Rather than blaming, or playing the victim, Shute's talking about the future, taxes, infrastructure, staff responsibility, community identity."

The News concluded its endorsement with the following statement:

[Shute] appears to be an independent thinker with common sense.  He's a fresh face.  We're hoping this apparent political outsider can bring a voice of reason to a council that has been at loggerheads for too long.

The general election will be held on Tuesday, April 7, but early voting has already begun.  You can still vote early by going to the Johnson County Election Office, 2101 E Kansas City Rd.
