Jackson County Executive Statement
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Jackson County Executive Frank White, Jr. today has issued the following statement:
“The letter recently sent to the Missouri Attorney General by a small group of Jackson County legislators is a deeply disappointing attempt to mislead the public through false and politically motivated accusations. This coordinated attack does not reflect the facts, the law or the truth about my commitment to the people of Jackson County.
“As County Executive, I have upheld every responsibility of this office with integrity, accountability and full-time dedication. I was elected to lead, not to play politics, and I remain focused on advancing the work that matters most – delivering critical services, ensuring fiscal stability and supporting our communities. My administration continues to operate within the framework of the County Charter and state law, even as others choose division over collaboration.
“What our residents need is steady, principled leadership, not sensationalism. These attacks are a distraction from the real work that must be done to strengthen our county and serve every person who calls it home. I will not be deterred. My focus remains on doing the job I was elected to do and doing it with integrity.”
