4th Congressional District, Belton, debate, missouri, Renee Hoagenson, town hall, Vicky Hartzler
Vicky Hartzler (r), August 25, 2010:
…My campaign has set aside Friday afternoons through October 22 and has called on media outlets and civic organizations to schedule forums in which the two candidates could state their views and take questions from citizens…
That was then, this is now.
Apparently Representative Vicky Hartzler (r) now believes that Renee Hoagenson’s (D) campaign is “bullying” her by doing what Vicky Hartzler’s (r) campaign did in 2010. Chutzpah. And Karma. And a belief that no one anywhere has any memory that goes back longer than ten minutes.
Renee Hoagenson (D) and her campaign found a few open dates, booked the venues, and publicized a willingness to engage in debates at those dates, times, and locations in the district. Vicky Hartzler’s campaign expressed their outrage at the impudence.
Yesterday in Belton, at one of the days and venues scheduled by Renee Hoagenson’s (D) campaign, Representative Vicky Hartzler (r) was a no show (Is anyone surprised?) – so Renee Hoagenson held an open public town hall. Over sixty voters showed up, along with media – the local paper and Show Me Progress.
Renee Hoagenson (D) – Belton, Missouri – September 18, 2018
The town hall with Renee Hoagenson (D) (and with Vicky Hartzler’s (r) absence) started at 7:00 p.m. and went past 8:30 p.m. Renee Hoagenson addressed written questions submitted by those in attendance and engaged in give and take with the audience. All of this open discussions included follow-ups.
The voters in attendance asked questions and provided their opinions on education, the budget, the deficit, the economy, access to affordable health care, campaign finance reform, term limits, agriculture (the farm bill), student loans, the military budget, and more.
After the “formal” portion of the town hall Renee Hoagenson (D) remained to greet and speak with any individuals who were so inclined.

Posted in Uncategorized
Congressional campaigns are a never ending series of meet the voters in the district activities. This includes door to door, fundraisers, local party meetings, and meet and greet events.
Yesterday evening a resident of Warrensburg hosted an event in their home to introduce Renee Hoagenson (D), a candidate in the 4th Congressional District, to their friends and neighbors.
Renee Hoagenson (D) – June 26, 2018
Thirty individuals attended and listened to Renee Hoagenson’s (D) story and her agenda to represent the people of the 4th Congressional District in Washington. Over the course of the two hour event she engaged in conversations and then later answered questions on campaign finance, jobs, education, immigration, science and a whole lot more.
There could be change in the wind.

Last night the Cass County Democratic Committee held it’s “Red, White and Blue Collar Celebration” Back to Blue dinner in Raymore. Approximately 200 individuals attended – meeting candidates and listening to remarks from featured speakers State Audior Nicole Galloway (D), Representative Crystal Quade (D), and Misouri Democratic Party Chair Stephen Webber.
Working people attended in force – opposition to Proposition A – “Right to get paid less” – was a major theme for the evening.
The republican party led dysfunction in Jefferson City was also a major topic of discussion.
Jessica Podhola (D).
“…Words of wisdom…so, uh, don’t work out with the governor. [laughter] Is that not wise advice? [laughter] Sorry. Um, is it too soon, is it too soon to, to say that…?” – Jessica Podhola
Vote “No” on “Right to get paid less” yard sign.

Representative Crystal Quade (D).
“…[the] dark cloud that currently surrounds Jefferson City is something that none of us could of prepared for. Often people down from where I’m from in Greene County will say to me, you know, it must be really hard to be a Democrat in a super minority. And, um, I like to say back to them, you know, there’s no better time to be a Democrat than right now. [….] Democrats didn’t expect such a mess from the Republicans and from their governor. I can tell you they did not expect us. They didn’t expect a group of legislators who were ready to fight back when they brought terrible bills to the floor…” – Crystal Quade
Missouri Democratic Party Chair Stephen Webber.
“…It’s dangerous to believe that progress is the law of life. Gravity is a law. Gravity is a law of life. Gravity is gonna happen. You drop something, it’s gonna fall. That, that’s gonna happen. Progress isn’t. Progress is not inevitable. Progress is not preordained. Progress is not something that just happens with the passage of time. Progress can be reversed. Progress only happens if somebody makes it happen. And in Missouri that somebody is us… ” – Stephen Webber

In Warrensburg – November 11, 2017.
Renee Hoagenson‘s (D) campaign in the 4th Congrssional District held an organizational meeting for volunteers this afternoon in Warrensburg.
This is the nuts and bolts stuff of campaigns that the general public probably doesn’t understand and hardly ever sees. One year out? Political amateurs always complain that “it’s too soon” or “you’ll peak too early”. They’re amateurs.
A campaign can always raise more money. It can always print more signs and campaign literature. It can always recruit and enlist more volunteers. What it can’t get is more time.
