McManus Files for 6th District City Council
Kansas City, Missouri . . . State Representative Kevn McManus announced today that he has filed and been certified as a candidate for City Council in the 6th District. John Sharp, current 6th District Councilman, is unable to run again due to term limits. McManus said, "over the past several months, many of my friends, supporters and constituents in South Kansas City have been urging me to run for City Council and after considerable thought, I have decided to file for this office."
McManus also said, "As a fifth generation Kansas Citian, I care deeply about the future of our city. My time representing South Kansas City in the state legislature has been productive, by state policy is by its nature less connected fo the crucial day-to-day issues we face at home. I hope to continue to serve in a role that will have a more direct impact on the future of our city by enhancing economic opportunities and improving the quality of life of our residents."
Kevin is active in the South Kansas City Alliance, a coalition of neighborhood organizations, civic, educational and faith-based institutions, non-profits, and businesses dedicated to bringing about a unified vision for south Kansas City. He serves as co-chair of the SKC Alliance's Strategic Planning Committee and has helped lead the group's effort to define priorities and strategies for improving the quality of life in South Kansas City for future generations.
