The Carpenter Endorsement
The statement:
Today, St. Louis Recorder of Deeds Sharon Carpenter announced that she is endorsing Jeff Smith, Democratic candidate for the 4th State Senate seat.
Carpenter, the former Democratic National Committeewoman and 23rd Ward Committeewoman who remains one of the most influential figures in City politics, cited Smith’s dedication and passion for public service as reasons for her support. “Jeff demonstrated his dedication to our City long before he decided to run for office. Now, as a candidate, he has shown a tireless work ethic that will serve us well when he is elected.”
Smith also announced the support of Joe Edwards, the businessman and civic leader best known for revitalizing the Delmar Loop, who said, “Jeff will be a breath of fresh air in the Capitol. And he’s exactly what this City needs.”
With the Carpenters in, what will the rest of the Buildings Trades do?
