Bill Slantz has lived in St. Charles County since 1997, when he moved here to relocate his company from New York City. Bill had been a very accomplished business executive, but as a born entrepreneur and visionary, founding his own successful company was inevitable. Bill had previously lived in the greater St. Louis metropolitan area, and when he saw that he could operate his business from anywhere he chose, he elected to move his firm to St. Charles, Missouri. Today, the W.G. Slantz Company provides a variety of essential consulting services to radio and television broadcasters across the country. Bill is widely considered one of the nation’s foremost experts on music performance rights. After moving to St Charles, Bill met and married his wife Jean, a lifelong Missouri resident. Because of his broad and varied business experience with both small and major broadcasters in all parts of the country, Bill has a unique and rich perspective on how other communities are solving today’s challenges. This combined with a deep sense of community, proven leadership ability, and a strong track record of success in a number of endeavors make him a natural choice to best serve and represent the people of the second district in Washington, DC.

Mark writes, “My name is Mark Alan Jones, I'll be on the ballot as Mark “MAJIC” Jones. You may have seen my company trucks running around town: MAJIC Painting & Wallcovering. Those driving billboards have been touring the Midwest since 1993. The goofy spelling is an acronym of my initials M.A.J. incorporated. I was born and raised in Springfield, and have experienced many aspects of Greene County life. I've alternated from training myself to eat on five dollars a week, to making six digits a year. I've sent clients on weekend getaways at the finest Bed & Breakfasts, I've rolled loose change from my coin jars on Thursday night to make payroll Friday. My philosophy is, “Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.” My integrity is unsurpassed: If I say it, it's real. I actually entertained the idea of getting an, if you will, “responsible productive member of society haircut,” after a VERY short deliberation, I concluded those responsible productive haircuts have gotten us so far in debt, it'll take an individual who's not afraid to look outside the box, or as I prefer “CAGE” to make things right! Stop the apathy, vote according to what you want, not what they say you can have. In my church bulletin recently, was a quote by Thomas Paine, “Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must undergo the fatigue of supporting it."
