It is Election Day in Missouri.
Cities, counties, and school districts have candidates and issues on the ballot.
In Buchanan County, voters will choose two new St. Joseph School Board members, whether recreational marijuana sales will be taxed in St. Joseph, and whether to extend the quarter-cent sales tax for the Buchanan County EMS ambulance service.
The school board race is crowded with nine candidates on the ballot for two open positions. St. Joseph School District voters will choose among these candidates: Whitney Lanning, Brian Shewell, Jonathon Bell, Harold B. Barr Jr., Bradly G. Huett, Jennifer Kerns, Amanda Cook, Don Crabtree, and Richard Gehring.
Eight of the nine attended a St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce candidate forum, broadcast live on KFEQ last week. Click HERE for our story.
