June 18th Mayor and City Council Elections in KCMO

On June 18th KCMO voters will elect a new Mayor and City Council. We've made a lot of progress towards a city that is walkable and bikeable, but we still have a long way to go. This next Mayor and Council will be critical for accelerating the pace of change in Kansas City.
