Share the love & serve your community! Last week’s VoteSharp blog featured Stephanie’s “Sharp Sheet” for local elections in Johnson County, KS, Kansas City’s largest suburban county. It’s a way of sharing her expertise in state and local politics with her community, which may not have the time (or interest) to learn about candidates. Let’s turn it into serving! Endorsements are …
The 2023 Sharp Sheet
General Election Many of our readers are originally from Stephanie’s “Sharp Record” newsletter list, which is geographically centered on Kansas and the KC Metro area. Being actively involved in state and local politics gives a person a unique perspective on the candidates and races – a perspective which could be helpful to voters strapped for time (and lack of interest) …
The Young’uns
Take Note! Our first Serve60Sharp Guest Idea from Cindy Green! A few weeks ago, I attended a fundraiser for a friend running for office, and brought my 14-year old daughter along for the ride.

Birthdayta!
We just created a new word… October is birthday month in our family. Mine, daughter, sister-in-law, mom, two cousins, dozens of friends, you get the idea.

This post is more for the elected and candidate subscribers among you, but for the rest, I hope you’ll see the impact …

Starbuck’s “Pay It Backward”
With a Twist!! You are likely familiar with the trend of “paying it backward” to buy a coffee for the person behind you in the Starbuck’s line. While I’ve been the instigator but not the beneficiary of the Starbuck’s trend, I recently had a similar experience that taught me this works in more than just the coffee shop! A few …
Announcing Serve60Sharp
Translating Politics Into English in 60 seconds – sharp. As an email newsletter aficionado, I subscribe to many. Most are aggregators of other news outlets or letters, and have one thing in common: TL:DR. It means Too Long, Didn’t Read. So many organizations try to be all things to all readers, or provide all resources to a subset of people …
