Beverlee Roper of Weatherby Lake is one of them.
Roper, who is running against Kathy Dusenbery, incumbent first district commissioner in the upcoming Republican primary, sat down for an interview with The Landmark on Monday.
Roper, age 61, said she is running for the Platte County Commission to focus on fiscal responsibility and fiscal priorities for local government. For more on story. |

Warriors
Dash
through
Platte City
|
Approximately 13,000 individuals were registered to participate in this year’s Warrior Dash, held at Platte Ridge Park north of Platte City, this past Saturday and Sunday. The race covered 3.11 miles and included 12 obstacles, including a cargo net climb and a leap over fire. Safety was an obvious priority this year, as organizers provided additional water stations and repeatedly cautioned participants to stay hydrated, following two heat-related deaths in last year’s event.
