Michael Fletcher, 3rd District City Council candidate, ineligible for tomorrow’s primary

Judge Joseph Ellis of the Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District, this morning denied an appeal by 3rd District City Council candidate Michael Fletcher, who is fighting to remain on tomorrow’s primary election ballot. Last Thursday, Jackson County Circuit Court Judge Ann Mesle ruled in favor of the 3rd District incumbent, Councilwoman Sharon Sanders Brooks, who argued that Fletcher can’t run for her seat because he has a home in California.
