Jean Carnahan stumps for Greene County Democrats


Former U.S. Senator Jean Carnahan will be the special guest when Democrats picnic in Phelps Grove Park next week. The picnic is Thursday from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

The Carnahan name may not mean much to the Greene County electorate as a whole. Here's how the family name has done in recent elections among county voters:

2004 Catherine Hanaway 57%, Robin Carnahan 40%
2002 Jim Talent 59%, Jean Carnahan 40%
2000 John Ashcroft 60%, Mel Carnahan 39%
1996 Margaret Kelly 52%, Mel Carnahan 45%

Of course, every vote counts, even if you don't win a county. Consider who ultimately won those elections.
