Personal account of Quinton Lucas, Mayor of Kansas City. “Aldi-Brand Obama.”

Our leaders aren't just far right, they're far out. Far out of the mainstream of Missourians; far removed from the daily concerns of people trying to make ends meet. This isn't a one-off. This is a reminder that common sense didn't die in Missouri over a generation.

Kansas City, thank you! Undefeated in Kansas City ballot initiatives, giving us the chance to rebuild our infrastructure, our housing, and our community. We will never stop focusing on a better community for all our people.

Thank you SOOOOO much to our election workers. They’ve been working long hours for weeks to help our democracy keep going. Much love to y’all! They’ll be there waiting for you until 7PM.

Sure as God made green apples, one day Missouri’s primary and general elections will once again be as relevant and important nationally as Michigan’s.

It’s almost voting time in Kansas City and surrounds! Here are my recs and reasons on the issues. Early voting at your election board today then OG voting tomorrow (Tues., August 4) at polling places starts at 6AM and runs until 7PM.

Saving our historic buildings is some of the most important work we can do. Glad to see we’ve made it easier to save them and tougher to tear them down. Progress for Kansas City never needs to mean abandoning our history. Just wish we could get some old ones back.

Like a family reunion. On our second day with Black mayors from around the country. Good to see our org’s leader and my friend Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott back in Kansas City. I’m still gonna talk my talk come football season.

We’re welcoming Black mayors from around the country to Kansas City this week as the African American Mayors Association leadership board meets in town. Thanks to the KC Current for hosting and our friend and ally Governor Laura Kelly for joining us last night on the riverfront.

Fight the Blight. I’ll never forget where I came from and will never stop fighting to fix up where I came from. Kansas City will continue to take on property owners letting the City’s housing stock and neighborhoods fall into dangerous disrepair.

A fun chat has opened up on why I recommend a 'NO' vote on Missouri Amendment 2 By law, Jackson County "may" appoint an assessor, but the people of Jackson County by our choice--me too!--have chosen to elect our assessor by our vote starting in 2028. So, why is this form of state control necessary?

Election time in Kansas City and surrounds! Here's a link to ballot recommendations. Generally, when in doubt, vote NO all state amendments (MO + KS). Vote YES on ALL City questions. www.facebook.com/share/p/1CnP...

Adam Hamilton for Kansas is one of the best people you could meet, reminding me of the types of folks I lived around and worshipped with way back when in Hutchinson. I hope my friends in Kansas will support him on Tuesday and this November.

Don’t get me wrong, I love that white men convicted of felony fraud can succeed and grow successful businesses in Kansas City. I just hope Missouri lets us create equal opportunity for women and Blacks, Latinos, Asians, Native Americans as well, whether they’ve pleaded guilty to fraud or not.

They’re not trying to stand up for anybody. They’re trying to marginalize the many who for too long have been left out. I’m proud to have seen and supported many from all backgrounds on the pathway to success. I’m sad they are trying to close the door to progress for so many of us.

Kansas bringing in businesses from our side while we’re getting sued by our own state. Again. I wish they got a new hobby in Jefferson City.

Good morning, Kansas City and surrounds! Wishing I could go back to school again today. Had a great time yesterday at KD Academy, helping produce some of the 750+ new early childhood seats on the Prospect corridor thanks to the Central City Economic Development Sales Tax.

I was asked this morning on Hot 103 Jamz about an incident at MLK Park this weekend involving over 50 teens, several seriously injured. While we pray for a full recovery of all, we’re reminded that we can take steps to keep our kids safe.

Every neighborhood deserves trees. Every kid deserves trees. We’ve planted over 13,000. Our policies will save tens of thousands more. On this hot day, remember to stand for our tree canopy and to demand equitable climate resiliency in development and redevelopment citywide. 🌳 🎥 Kansas City PBS

Permítanme presentarles nuevamente nuestra tarjeta de identificación municipal, the Fountain Card. Me enorgullece tener la mía y me entusiasma la idea de incorporar aún más servicios —incluido el acceso al autobús— en un futuro próximo.
