There is something conservatives want to know before committing. What does Chuck Ahner bring to the race that Dennis Moore's previous opponents didn't?
First, he brings very strong conservative credentials. Chuck is an active member of First Family church in Olathe, takes his faith seriously, and has taken heat for being "too conservative." He knows what ought to make the Republican party different from the Democratic party, and is committed to those differences.
Second, he brings a proven track-record of leadership in business and the military. Chuck is CTO at Midland Loan Services, a subsidiary of PNC. Full disclosure here--I work at Midland as well, and Chuck is the head of my division. As a result, I know from personal experience that he knows how to get things done. Chuck is also a West Point graduate, and served a decade in the Army. He worked in both intelligence and signals, and was stationed for a time on the DMZ in Korea.
I believe that, unlike past candidates, Chuck combines a firm commitment to conservative principles with an established history of business success that will appeal to 3rd District Republicans and convince them not to vote for Moore in yet another election.
