Yancie Faces Ballot Disqualification Over Tax Debt | St. Louis News

Yolonda Yancie, a St. Louis Recorder of Deeds candidate, faces possible ballot disqualification after being flagged for over $23,000 in unpaid taxes and penalties dating back to 2019. Though she claims she paid all dues—including those owed by her late mother—officials say tax delinquency can bar candidates from running. Yancie, a Democratic committeewoman, says she’s unaware of the issue and plans to resolve it, even offering to donate more to the Democratic Election Relief Fund to help cover the cost. State law requires candidates to settle tax debts within 30 days of notification, and past candidates have often had to pay up—especially as city finances come under scrutiny.
