My friend Mitch Richards is running for the First Ward seat in the city council elections this April 5th in Columbia, Missouri. I thought I would share this clip of him discussing warrantless administrative searches and other property rights issues at a candidate forum earlier today. You can check out his website here: http://mitchrichardsforfirstward.com/
Bonus: Mitch quotes from both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution without being cliche.
