Sen. Justus to make appearances in Callaway

Sen. Jolie Justus, D-Kansas City, will be making two visits to Callaway County over the next couple of weeks to talk politics with area residents.

Justus, who represents Callaway County, is slated to give a presentation for students and staff at Westminster College Monday afternoon, focusing on the major issues of the legislative session and what her priorities will be. She also will take questions.

The senator will give a similar speech at the Feb. 4 meeting of the Callaway County Democratic Club, 6:30 p.m. Feb. 4 in the Sir Winston's banquet room.

Justus said she plans to discuss whatever topics her audiences dictate, noting the biggest issues of the moment are related to Gov. Jay Nixon's state of the state speech.
