He glows at the potential good he can do for Kansas City. And it’s a true glow..like the super-intimate and rare moments you witness when someone is doing exactly what they were put on the earth to do.”

Joel Worcester
Managing Partner, Worcester Investments
“Justin is genuinely passionate about Kansas City; he was long before he decided to run for office. He has a sincere and contagious desire to see downtown KC grow and thrive for all Kansas Citians. One of my favorite qualities in Justin is the respect that he shows people he disagrees with and his willingness to engage in healthy, animosity-free debate. It is a breath of fresh air in the current political climate. Furthermore, Justin has been a great team member at Worcester Investments. Despite putting in countless hours on behalf of the City, he does his job well and is an inspiration to those who have the privilege to work with him. While I have always been hesitant to endorse political candidates, I feel at peace doing so for Justin as I trust him and believe he will make a significant positive difference for Kansas City.”
