Judicial officials have disqualified Lober for failing to file a personal financial disclosure form with the Missouri Ethics Commission.
St. Louis County Circuit Court officials announced Friday that Denny Lober has been disqualified as a candidate for the position of District 3 council member on the Ellisville City Council. According to City Clerk Kate Demeter, Lober’s disqualification resulted from his failure to file a personal financial disclosure form with the Missouri Ethics Commission. The court order means that Lober is removed as a candidate, but his name will still appear on ballots for the April 2 election, since the materials have already been printed. Because of this, the order asks that signs be posted in each applicable polling place to notify that any votes for Lober will not be counted or recorded. The action brings the race down to two candidates, Cindy …

Former State Senator Jane Cunningham shared her reasonings against a public education officer position at the Monarch Fire Protection District board meeting Thursday.
Former State Senator and Monarch Fire Board Candidate Jane Cunningham spoke out against the hiring of a public education officer at Monarch's Fire Board meeting Feb. 7. Cunningham, running against former State Representative Cole McNary for current Fire Board President Kim Evans's seat in the election this April, shared her thoughts during public comments. With Monarch on the search for a public education officer, Cunningham said she did not see the advantage of the extra cost for the position when "school populations are not increasing and there is not any huge demand." Cunningham suggested the position did not require a career as a firefighter or paramedic, but added that a retired firefighter "might love to come back in" and take the …

Former State Senator Jane Cunningham and State Representative Cole McNary are running for the lone seat open in April's election for the fire protection district.
A race for the Monarch Fire Protection District Board of Directors that was four candidates deep after a pair of surprising late entries prior to the January 15 deadline, is now down to two after a pair of candidates, including the lone incumbent, dropped out. The district confirmed late last week that Kim Evans, the board's current chairman, and Russell Lake, have removed their names from consideration for the April 2 election to the three person panel. That leaves former State Senator Jane Cunningham and former State Representative Cole McNary to compete for Evans' seat. Cunningham was redistricted out of the state legislature after she opted not to run in a relocated district, while McNary ran unsuccessfully for State Treasurer. In a …
