Benjamin Hodge’s letter to the editor in The KC Star, Wednesday, March 16
By: Benjamin Hodge (Diary) | March 16th at 08:10 PM |
Kansas City Star columnist Steve Rose, a guy who consistently lies about and attacks conservatives (it doesn’t matter whether this issue is economic conservatism or pro-life law enforcement), recently dedicated a column to another conservative candidate (James Nelson) and me; we’re running for positions on the local community college board. It’s a race where three candidates can win at-large positions, and so that’s why Rose | Read More »

Kansas editorial site ‘Kaw and Border’ defends Benjamin Hodge after false KC Star column
By: Benjamin Hodge (Diary) | March 14th at 02:22 AM |
I’d like to highlight this column by the respected regional editorial news site Kaw and Border, ”Steve’s Rose Colored Glasses Regarding JCCC.” For a brief back-ground. Steve Rose now writes a column for The Kansas City Star. He used to own a paper that his father started, The Johnson County Sun, which is now in its waning days. While Rose is liberal, it’s not his liberalism that’s troublesome, but | Read More »

Biggest Kansas Upset, Part Three: Jason Osterhaus talked to voters personally about issues
By: Benjamin Hodge (Diary) | November 16th at 03:24 PM |
Click here to read part one and part two about Jason Osterhaus’ victory over establishment icon and liberal Republican Larry Winn the Third. For today’s article, I’ll copy below my mail newsletter today, in which I discuss the 4th District County Commission race. In summary: the number one reason that Jason Osterhaus won was because he out-worked his opponent. Alongside this, Osterhaus communicated a clear, simple, economically | Read More »

Jason Osterhaus beats Larry Winn for Johnson County Commissioner, part 2. Biggest Kansas upset in 10 years.
By: Benjamin Hodge (Diary) | November 15th at 01:12 PM |
The biggest upset in 2010, and perhaps in the past decade — since Kay O’Connor’s 2000 primary election defeat of incumbent Kansas Senator Rich Becker — was the upset in the Overland Park-based Fourth District Johnson County Commission race. Last week, I discussed one of the reasons why Jason Osterhaus beat liberal Republican Larry Winn the Third for 4th District County Commission: Osterhaus did not pretend to | Read More »
