John Josendale, Larry Miller discuss next steps ahead of the General Election

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (KQTV) -- John Josendale and Larry Miller will be heading to the General Election.

Josendale received 1,839 votes, and Miller followed behind with 1,170 votes. Josendale said he plans to continue engaging with the community in the lead-up to the General Election.

"I'm going to continue what I been doing, I'll get out and talk to people. We want to do a number of town hall meetings, we'll be out in the public making sure we continue not only getting our word across but making sure we know what the people want to hear," he said. "The other side is trying to explain and really give a good definition of what the mayor does. There's been a lot of comments made and everything, but there's a lot more to being a mayor and being on city council, and I think I want the people to understand that we do this for them, and I look forward to it."

Miller said he is also going to be doing a lot of campaigning up until the General Election.

"I'm going to ask their opinon and then I'm going to tell them what I'm going do or what I'm going try to do," he said.

Josendale said he appreciates all the support he has gotten.

"I feel like we've moved the City along, and as I said going into this. This is their opportunity to get out and have their voices heard," he said. "I think they've spoken, I think they talked, and now we get to go continue that process so that we get the people to understand what we're doing and listen to them on how we make St. Joe better for all of us."

Miller said he would like to thank the people for giving him a chance.

"To help the people of St. Joe, to get back in connection with their government and put them first. If the people doesn't come first, you don't have a government. You just don't, and I'm real pleased," he said.

The General Election will take place on April 7.
