Dr. Randy Jotte to run for St. Louis County Council
Dr. Randy Jotte
Dr. Randy Jotte of Webster Groves has announced his candidacy in next year’s election for the 5th District seat on the St. Louis County Council.
Jotte, 49, is seeking the seat that will be vacated by Councilwoman Barbara Fraser, D-University City, who is running for the Missouri State Senate.
Jotte, a Republican, is a emergency physician at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. He served on the Webster Groves City Council from 2004 to 2008, and was mayor pro tem of the city from 2006 to 2008.
Last year, Jotte (pronounced Jot-E) narrowly lost a race for the Missouri House of Representatives to Democrat Jeanne Kirkton.
The treasurer for Jotte’s campaign is Sandy Odenwald, the wife of former 5th District County Councilman Kurt Odenwald.
The other announced candidate for Fraser’s seat is Terri Williams, a Democrat from Webster Groves.
Jotte is the married father of two children.
Why would a smart guy like this want to waste his time on a small time job like County Council? He ought to run against Prince Russ Carnahan. We could use someone in Washington who understands what to do with healthcare.
Anyone interested in a fresh round of smoking ban hearings? If so, I think this is the guy to vote for.
Let’s hope he runs a campaign better than BJC runs its emergency room.
Don’t let the white coat fool you. Jotte opposes lifesaving stem cell research.
ok, stem cell research has nothing to do with his position on the Metro-link, or the County Assessor’s Office, or fiscal responsibility! This guy is very qualified and has integrity. Keep on track with the relevant issues to the office !
@Kathy Judd— Unless we want to make medical research and bio-tech an economic driver for St. Louis County and our region.
Will Jotte work against bringing medical research and bio-tech companies to our area if they engage in stem cell research?
Congrats, HopeForCures, on demonstrating that there’s another group who can be as narrow in their focus as opponents and advocates of abortion rights. At this point, I have no idea where Mr. Jotte stands on any issue (website, Mr. Jotte?), but I look forward to hearing more. Our county has languished under the dimwitted rule of Mr. Dooley and his lackey county council. It’s definitely time for a change.
My bad for not checking first - or perhaps, Mr. Hampel’s bad for not providing the link.

Let’s get the science, ethics, and truth in line.
Randy Jotte only opposes EMBRYONIC stem cell research, not the more promising science of ADULT stem cell research. HopeForCures needs to get the facts right.
If’ Hannegan’s for ‘im, I’m agin’ im!
