Incumbent Beth Kistner is ready for her 5th and final term on Creve Coeur City Council.
In Creve Coeur's ward 1, covering the eastern part of the city, incumbent Councilwoman Beth Kistner defeated challenger Tony Kardis by 43 votes out of 516 cast Tuesday. The final tally showed Kistner with 279 votes to Kardis' 236, a 54% to 46% margin of victory. There was one write-in vote. Because of term limits, the upcoming two-year term will mark Kistner's last go-round on Creve Coeur city council. Upon hearing the news of her victory from Patch, Kistner said she has no future plans beyond serving these last two years on council. "When you know something is ending it really makes you enjoy having this one last chance to serve." The Kistner-Kardis race was not without its share of controversy, as the two candidates were ideologically…

Letter regarding Beth Kistner's 2007 campaign is one of 16 sent to county municipalities.
Creve Coeur City Councilwoman Beth Kistner is among a group of 18 candidates for municipal office in St. Louis County notified this month about outstanding campaign finance documents. A letter from the St. Louis County Board of Elections dated March 10 informed city clerk Debbie Ryan that "Ms. Kistner has failed to file her Quarterly Reports, an amended Statement of Committee Organization and/or a Termination report for the April 3, 2007 General Municipal election," called for under state law. The letter cites statutes in state law which prevent a candidate from taking office or filing to run in the future until those documents are filed. Kistner won the 2007 race for city council and is running for re-election next month. Representatives …

Incumbents Nealey and Kistner file on last day for city council candidates to step forward.
The field of candidates for Creve Coeur City Council is all but set, as Tuesday's deadline to file for the April elections passed. The final day saw two incumbents, Ward One Councilwoman Beth Kistner, and Ward Two Councilwoman Tara Nealey, submit their paperwork seeking re-election, as expected. Kistner will face Tony Kardis, a former Ladue science teacher. She said she hasn't learned anything about her opponent besides what she's read in Creve Coeur Patch. "I just realized that I feel really committed to the residents of Ward one and want to continue serving the residents," Kistner said before leaving the Creve Coeur Government Center Tuesday. Nealey will have the honor of being the only incumbent to run unopposed in April. (Ward Three …

It is interesting that after serving 8 years on the city council, Kistner only squeaked by her opponent(Tony Kardis) with just 43 extra votes. Since this was not a sweeping victory for Kistner by any stretch of the imagination, I believe it is an indication that our city is looking for change in our local government. This election is a prime example of how important each vote is in determining … more ›
