Mayoral Election August 7th 2007
On August 7th, 2007 there will be a Mayoral election for the registered voters of Overland to select the candidate they want to replace former Mayor Ann Purzner (who was recalled from office back in April 2007 by a nearly 3 to 1 margin). This election is critical for residents of Overland Missouri as it will determine our community's future direction. There are 3 clear choices in this race and the choice the majority makes will set the tone for what is to come.
We would like to urge everyone to who can to vote on August 7th (polls will be open from 6:00AM to 7:00PM). If you have difficulty getting to the polls please contact the candidate of your choice as they will likely have volunteers available to get you to the polls. For those who are registered but have not voted in a municipal election in awhile (if at all) you can find a host of information at the St. Louis County Board of Elections website. Specifically you can find your polling place, learn about how the new voting machines work, and later you should be able to find the election results on their site as well.
If you're looking for information on the candidates there is a host of it out there. You can see videos from the "meet the candidate" style forums both Councilpersons Schneider and Conlon held earlier this year (May forums are here and June forums are here). You can also see the video of the League of Women Voters Candidate Forum as well as the Overland Business Associations Question and Answer event as well. Both Councilpersons Conlon and Schneider have campaign websites (Schneider's here and Conlon's here) where they provide information for voters. Lastly, you can visit our Candidates list article where you'll find various ways to contact all three candidates (candidates are listed in that article in the order they will appear on the ballot).
We wish we could have provided more information about Councilperson Keller, however she she does not have a website, she either did not hold any forum style events or she did not notify us of them, and she did not attend either of the above candidate events.
There are also the financial filings for the candidates that are publicly available. Thanks to Suzyjax at the OVCC Blog we all have easy access to these documents for both Councilpersons Schneider and Conlon. Councilperson Keller did not submit any financial filings so unfortunately we cannot provide that information for you here. The filings that are available can be seen here:

There is plenty of information to review about most of the candidates. Please feel free to review this information as well as share it with others who are interested in learning more about those seeking to lead our City into the future.

A word of advice to all Overland Voters:
We are in the last few days before the election. In Overland's political past this has frequently been the time when various politicos, and wanna-be politicos have put out mailers, flyers, and word of mouth rumors that our completely false, but the candidate they disparage has no time to respond and clear the air.
If in the next few days before the election you hear something that cause you to change who you're voting for (regardless of who that might be), take the time to contact the candidate themselves and ask them about it (you can find their contact information here). Chances are you'll be glad you did.
