McDonald was unopposed in the Democratic primary on Aug. 6 and will be on the ballot in November, against the Republican first district commissioner nominee, Allyson Berberich.

McDonald says he highlights openness, transparency, accountability as his goals as commissioner with a mission for Platte County to be a great place to live and raise a family and a thriving community where every resident has a voice.

“Being the fastest-growing county in Missouri, we need to develop a vision for the next 10 to 20 years that deals with transportation, housing, public safety, safe roads, trails, and parks. We want to have smart growth for Platte County, meaning economic development while maintaining the neighborly charm and appeal of the county,” McDonald said.

“We must engage the whole community and work with our municipalities and neighboring counties to make it possible,” he added.

McDonald is a political newcomer, this being his first time running for any elected office. He has spent over 20 years working in healthcare and the nonprofit sector.

McDonald has worked on the board as past president of Heart of America Association of Blood Banks and Clinical Laboratory Managers Association (CLMA), and board member of CLMA International. He is a member of the Platte County Democratic Central Committee and national delegate to the Democratic National Convention. He has a master’s in business administration and management from Avila University.

Charles and his family moved to Platte County in 2006 after leaving New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. His children attended school in the Park Hill School District. He is a member and volunteered at the local YMCA and Scouts BSA. He enjoys attending church and other local activities, spending time with his family, and connecting with friends.
