Show Notes
Independence, Missouri, gears up for a new mayor as Rory Rowland steps down. City Councilwoman Dr. Bridget McCandless and Kevin King, a former business manager, are the top contenders after the February primary. Both are committed to revitalizing the city, which faces challenges like population decline, stagnant incomes, and housing shortages.
The race is heated around a proposed Nebius data center project, which promises to be the citys largest taxpayer, generating revenue for various public services and creating jobs. King prioritizes public safety and infrastructure, while McCandless focuses on resident input and careful budgeting. Both candidates aim to attract businesses, boost resident pride, and reverse out-migration.
