Kevin Morgan kicks off campaign for State Representative Campaign Kick Off Shows Broad Support
Excelsior Springs, MO-- Thursday, May 3rd, Kevin Morgan, candidate for the 38th District House of Representatives, kicked off his run for office in front of a crowd of over 65 residents.
Morgan addressed many issues of concern, including the economy, education, and the priorities of the people in the district. “Going door to door has been an education and an inspiration. The issues that are on the forefront of peoples concerns are not at all what is being discussed in the House. I am listening,” said Morgan.
Productive day knocking on doors. On our last knock of the day, Beatrice and Glen pledged their votes and stopped for a photo.

Swimming Upstream - #4
About ten years ago on a spring day I went to a friends farm to hunt for artifacts. The crops weren't in yet but the ground had been turned and, after a few days of rain, the furrows of dirt had flattened, leaving the stones at the surface glistening in the sunlight, washed and exposed. On the way into the field I crossed Fishing River by using rocks in the river bed as footing.
After about four hours of surface hunting I was returning to the truck to go home when I noticed that the river had risen. Apparently, it had rained north of us and the water had made its way downstream to my location. I could no longer see the rocks I had used, but could tell where I had crossed by my own footprints in the sand on the bank leading to the river. Carefully, I began stepping into the water feeling for the large rocks with my feet. About halfway across the water was over my knees and rushing against my weight. I took one missed step and the stream grabbed me, dragging me into the water. I was pulled in and plunged under.
