Or in plain english, a Yes vote means no net change in taxes, a No vote means they go down.

Not exactly controversial and admittedly quite boring, which is likely why turnout was only 13.9%, but nevertheless good to see a win here.

of course, disappointed it failed but happy it was quite close

- in an area with many competitive districts-whether that's because of many Trump voters agreeing that public schools need more support, or because of disproportionately high Democratic turnout in an off-year election.

It's worth pointing out, however, that the Rockwood School District boundaries voted 55.5% for Trump and 42.8% for Harris in the 2024 Presidential election. With most Republicans opposed and most Democrats in favor, it's notable that Yes on Prop S outperformed Harris by ~6% -

CD12, North KC, Liberty, and Independence, is oddly difficult because there haven’t been competitive federal elections in the area for ages. Lauren Arthur? John Rizzo? I’m sure many would want it to be Jason Kander.

CD13, a somewhat vulnerable Emanuel Cleaver

CD9, Jay Wasson? Runner-up to Burlison in 2022? Feels boring but can’t imagine Mike Moon holding it.

CD10, Alford, CD11, Graves.

CD6, Jason Smith. I don’t like how it jumps up to Rolla, but oh well.

CD7, Kurt Schaefer. He won the Columbia media market in his 2024 House bid, this would be an easy victory for him.

CD8, Eric Burlison

CD3 is a Biden-Harris district but Ann Wagner likely still hangs on if she’s free to moderate a bit more.

CD4 is Bob Onder’s home turf.

CD5, Mary Elizabeth Coleman, I guess? Ran for the House in 2024 and dropped out, would have a much easier time here.
