A "Sit-Down" with Vanessa Reid

To ensure the people of District 2 have representation that honors who we are and what we want for our county. 

Freedom is the single most important founding principal of our representative democracy, and I know that limited government is the best way to protect it.

District 2 deserves a commissioner who truly represents its values and that candidate is Vanessa Reid. 

I will not support closing churches, schools, masking orders, stay-at-home orders and the like. I will work to keep taxes as low as possible while trying to ensure that the dollars the county controls are spent with the highest responsibility toward the tax payer. I will not support any ICE contract in the county to use our community to house illegal immigrants. As your county commissioner I will look to ensure fair business practices and good governance.

As your District 2 Commissioner, I will continue to build strong relationships with constituents across the county and the surrounding area to stay in touch with what affects us and our community. 

I will always fight unconstitutional mandates and vote to protect individual freedoms. 

I will hold County Department Heads accountable for maintaining a conservative and effective budget. 

I will never vote to bring ICE contracts to our county or enter into any business venture to house illegal immigrants.

With me on your side, you will have a commissioner working to grow our commercial tax base in order to ease individual tax burden while protecting our neighborly environments. 

I am consistent, reliable and have a proven track record of doing what I say I'm going to do. My opponent changes with the wind.  At first he was a Republican registered in this primary election and then switched to a United Kansas Party candidate in this general election.  

The United Kansas Party only enables candidates to obscure their political leanings.  According to its mission statement, those within the party have differing political beliefs.

Fortunately, District 2 voters won’t have to wonder about my beliefs since I have an existing voting record; mine is as a Leavenworth USD 453 school board member since 2021. I encourage voters to review my voting records so you know just what you’re getting. Regardless of your political affiliation, if you want less government, responsibly ran government and government oversight, I will not disappoint.

My voting record as a Leavenworth USD 453 school board member demonstrates that I know the government has NO right to decide who and what is essential to society, whether kids should be able to attend school (the answer is YES!), or to limit access to public spaces and taxpayer-funded services. During times of crisis, it is necessary to have individuals that will stand for freedom.  

Don't gamble with your vote - vote for Vanessa Reid! 

With great dedication and integrity! 

I ran for school board to help with issues that were directly impacting my student and so many others. For over two years now, it has been my great pleasure to have made such progress serving our schools every month.  As a lifelong learner I intend to apply many of the lessons learned as a school board member to the Leavenworth County Commission.

My current school board term expires in 2025, and by that time, I will no longer have any students in the Leavenworth school district.  I will continue to fulfill my duties as I have sworn to do to the best of my ability until then. Thank you for your support during this transition.

Leavenworth County runs through my veins, and protecting what so many have worked so hard to make prosperous is the song of my heart. 

Both sides of my family have Leavenworth roots going back to the 1800s. I come from a line of farmers, entrepreneurs, tax payers and hard workers. I grew up here, and my husband and I have raised our family in this beautiful, historic place. In order to cultivate a fruitful future, we must manage the present in the most responsible way. Working with the people of this great district to govern well for the betterment of our community today and for generations to come will be my highest priority as your County Commissioner.  

I look forward to working for you! Vote Reid on November 5th!
