| Description | Democratic Missouri House of Representatives 51st District candidates Ira Anders, Jeremy Ploeger and Travis Richey all say they’ve taken to the streets of northwestern Independence and Sugar Creek daily in support of their campaigns. All three candidates contend that job creation remains among their top priorities for constituents.
“Everybody’s objective is to try to create jobs in any area, especially in the area that you represent,” Anders said. “You try to get businesses to expand and to provide more jobs for people.”
Anders taught for 28 years in the Independence School District, worked as a computer technician for six years and served as a board of education member for one six-year term. He also has served as the board of education representative on the Independence Council for Economic Development board and as a member of the western Independence Enhanced Enterprise Zone board.

Ploeger, a self-proclaimed small business consultant who serves as vice chairman of the Jackson County Board of Zoning Adjustment, said he considers himself a leader and called himself the best candidate to create jobs. He received endorsements from the Jackson County Committee for County Progress, the Kansas City Pride Democratic Club and the Four Freedoms Democratic Club.

Travis Richey, a real estate consultant for Chartwell Realty, said he has taken a hands-on approach in communities like Fairmount, Englewood, Maywood and the Square. Maywood Baptist Church Pastor Bob Spradling and state Sen. Victor Callahan have endorsed Richey. |
