By way of brief background, I served four years on active duty in the United States Marine Corps. I attained the rank of Captain, was Honorably Discharged, and served one tour in Afghanistan. While in Afghanistan, I was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal for serving with distinction.
In 2008, I graduated magna cum laude from the top-ranked University of Missouri School of Journalism. During college, I spent the summer of 2006 as a volunteer in the Dominican Republic. I taught English and built homes in Haitian refugee camps. Also, I spent the summer of 2007 as a volunteer in Kenya. I taught all subjects, except Swahili, in Kenyan elementary schools and middle school.
In 2016, I graduated from the University of Missouri School of Law.
I am the Founder and Owner of The Law Firm of Kenneth L. Jamison, LLC, a law firm located in Liberty, Missouri.
Clay County is my home. I was raised in Gladstone, Missouri. I attended Meadowbrook Elementary School, Antioch Middle School, and Oak Park High School.
I live in Gladstone, Missouri, with my fiancée and her three-year-old son, and our dog, Buddy, a rescue from the KC Pet Project.
- SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS: I strongly support fully funding our law enforcement. I will fight for more police officers on the streets. I will fight to ensure our Sheriff’s Department has the tools necessary to keep our children and senior citizens safe. I will fight for better wages and retention for our Sheriff’s Department.
- NO NEW TAXES / BALANCED BUDGET: The government is no better than us. The government should live within its means just like us. I will work to ensure we have a balanced budget. As a small business owner, I will ensure Clay County is accountable to taxpayers and creates an environment where small businesses can prosper.
- FAIR SHARE OF SERVICES: The people of Clay County pay too many taxes to Kansas City, yet what do we get in return? I will fight to ensure our tax dollars stay in the Northland. As a United States Marine and Afghanistan veteran, I will stand up for Clay County against the special interests south of the river to ensure we get our fair share of services.
In November 2020, voters approved the Clay County Constitution with 81 percent of the vote.
I served on the Clay County Constitution Committee. I helped draft the Clay County Constitution. Our opponent led the opposition to the Clay County Constitution. Our opponent received only 19 percent of the vote.
Our opponent fought to keep our dysfunctional government. I fought to reform it. In November, let’s finish the job.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
