Thank you Wichita.

To those whose votes I earned and those that I didn’t, I will represent you both.

Fifteen years ago, I was a member of the Mayor’s Youth Council and in that time I have seen dozens of council people and mayors come and go, and what I have realized most, is that I will not just be one of seven leading a staff of 3,000 representing a major American City of nearly 400,000. I don’t have have all the answers, but our community does; we can find them and work toward them together.

This is not my seat. I have just been given the opportunity to be the voice for Southwest and West Wichita for the next four years, and I commit to you all that I will think strategically, ask the tough questions, and always listen.

Thank you again, Wichita, for entrusting me to serve you.

Now, let’s get to work.

Ad Astra,  

Dalton
