Delivering for Wichita

As your City Councilman, my job is clear: to serve the people of Wichita, not to defend the bureaucracy of the institution that is the City of Wichita. Too often, the communication from City Hall feels like it’s more about protecting the institution than addressing the real concerns of our community. That’s why I’m reaching out directly to you with these updates—no spin, no fluff, just the facts that matter to you.

Votes that matter …

  • Led the effort to cut more than $3 million from the 2025 City budget, of which $800,000 was unanimous

  • Purchased land in SW Wichita for the construction of the City’s first new fire station since 2008 

  • Redirected nearly $6 million from nonessential city functions to the construction of our multi-agency homeless outreach center. However, WE MUST pair this with enforcement and anti-camping ordinances 

  • Though voting against the downtown parking plan as a whole, offered an amendment that strengthened  the constitutional protections of enforcement by requiring and oath of office and Constitutional training for those enforcing parking

  • Added quarterly evening meetings to ensure more accessibility to local government to residents 

  • Allocated nearly $1 million toward security enhancements at Pawnee Prairie Park 

  • Increased funding for the Child Advocacy Center by $2 million to expand their operations catching child predators and addressing child abuse

  • Transferred our land on South Broadway for the construction of the Biomedical Campus in downtown Wichita

  • Approved the final construction agreements for both our new water treatment facility and our biological nutrient removal plant amounting in a combined $1 billion, the largest and second largest infrastructure projects in the City’s history.

  • Amended how we select council vacancies; eliminating the chance of tie breaking by coin toss

  • Saved taxpayers money and provided more accessibility to legal notices by designating the City website as our official paper of record

  • Restored transparency to our campaign finance ordinance so candidates, not just PACS, can control messaging during election season
