Communicate with the Mayor
Contact with the residents of Kansas City is what keeps me grounded. Real people living in the real world know what they want from municipal government. I want to hear how you feel about the issues affecting your neighborhood, your businesses, and your families. I also want to give you an opportunity to ask your Mayor questions. I will do my best to answer some of your questions either on this website or in my newspaper column, Straight Talk with the Mayor.
Good communication is a two-way street. I hope we can keep all lanes open between my office and the people I serve.
