I didn’t feel a thing! #CovidVaccine thank you @TrumanMedKC for a safe, smooth process.

I trust the science & the science tells me that not getting the vaccine is riskier than getting it. I encourage everyone in

@JacksonCountyMO

to roll up their sleeves when it’s their turn.

5. Frank White says he won’t run again regardless of recall, citing cancer recovery

Jackson County Executive Frank White shared this week that health concerns played a role in his decision to step down at the end of his term and not to run again for his seat in 2026, regardless of the results of an upcoming election to recall him. White, a Democrat, has been County Executive since 2016. The former Kansas City Royals player and Hall of Famer told a Kansas City podcaster earlier this month that he would not seek re-election in 2026. He affirmed his decision in a Wednesday letter addressed to “Jackson County associates.” “This was not an easy decision,” White wrote. “Serving in this role has been one of the greatest honors of my life, and I am deeply proud of the work we have accomplished together.” White followed the letter with a news release Thursday stating that he is currently “cancer-free” after being diagnosed with kidney cancer in 2022. One of White’s kidneys was removed as part of his treatment, he wrote, and early intervention contributed to his recovery.
