James Egan for Judge in Boone County
As many of you know, James Egan is running to an associate circuit judge here in Boone County.
An associate circuit judge only covers one county so James will not have the Republican support from Callaway County Republicans.
James is not only asking for donations but also asks that people spread the word about his candidacy, not only by word of mouth but also by pointing them to his web page at jameseganforjudge.com. There people can not only make donations but also learn why he is a strong candidate to be a judge. James is currently looking for volunteers to canvass (door knock) for him, if interested please contact him via his website.
Supporters can also make a donation by writing a check to:

Boone County Republican Clean-Up Event

Corner of Obermiller Rd & O’Neal Rd
I hope this message finds you well. I’m writing to invite and remind everyone to our next Adopt A Spot road cleanup this Saturday morning at 7:00 AM June 13, 2026.
We’ll meet at the west end of our Adopt A Spot road on Obermiller Road (the section from Creasy Springs Road to O’Neal Road, just north of Columbia).
For everyone’s safety, we will have reflective vests, trash bags, and signs ready to set up when you arrive. No need to bring anything except your enthusiasm and sturdy shoes! The county supplies the equipment and we leave the bags and they pick them up after we are done. I will be picking up these supplies Friday.
Please RSVP if you plan to join us. The more hands we have, the merrier — and the faster the work goes!
Your help keeps our community clean and shows the Boone County Republican Committee’s annual commitment to making a visible difference. I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible this Saturday.
Thank you so much!!
Also our next meeting is next Tuesday June 16, 2026 at 7 pm, venue Bandanas, on Clark Lane. Speaker TBA.

Have you ever considered the possibility that the ballot tabulating machines used in our elections could be tampered with? How were votes cast and counted before computers? The answer: using paper ballots that were hand counted. Is the population too large for this to work today? Come to a one hour introductory training on a counting method that has been developed in Missouri that has proven hand counting is both possible and practical.
When: Saturday June 27th, 2026 10:00 AM to noon
Where: Boone Electric Cooperative Community Building
1413 Rangeline St., Columbia, MO 65201
Register: email taylorsu27@gmail.com with your first and last name, your email address, your home county and state to register
Cost: the training is free, but a donation is suggested to cover the cost of materials
