The Northwest Johnson County Republicans have endorsed Kelly Meigs for State Representative in the 17th District. The endorsement was made on Tuesday, June 15 via a vote of the membership of the organization.
Regarding the endorsement, the organization's Chairman, Mike Pirner, said the following:
"Kelly Meigs is a principled conservative dedicated to the ideals of limited government, economic freedom, fiscal responsiblity, and a culture of life. Her opponent, Jill Quigley, is the most liberal Republican in the legislature, having voted on the liberal end of almost every issue, whether it be on economic or social issues -- a record that is far to the left of the 17th District. Kelly Meigs will be a breath of fresh air, and we fully support her."
