JOCO Catholic Voter Guide, 2024

Johnson County, KS

Dear Brothers & Sisters In Christ

As election day approaches, we are called to vote our values. While there’s much information out there regarding the presidential and federal elections, often we are unable to discern who applies their faith to public service when it comes to local elections. In some ways, these campaigns have more effects on our community and culture than what happens in Washington DC. The listed candidates in this Catholic Voter Guide, to the best of our knowledge, support the values of the Catholic Church in the public square in Johnson County, Kansas. We prayerfully ask you to consider voting for these candidates and to encourage your friends to vote as well. God bless you!

Tony Bergida, St Paul’s Catholic Church parishioner, Olathe, Kansas
