Hey John,

Last night, I was honored to deliver my third State of the City Address to the people of Kansas City. My vision for our city is straightforward. I’m fighting to:

• Pay the people
• Serve the people
• House the people
• Protect the people
• Invest in young people

City Hall’s job, and my job, are simple: To deliver services, to help spur affordable housing opportunities for all Kansas Citians, to clear red-tape, to be serious about making our neighborhoods safer and to pay our workers fair wages to make all of that possible.

Thanks to your support, we’ve been able to accomplish so much in the past two and a half years, but the job isn’t done. There is always more that we can do to lift up Kansas Citians and fight for our community.

That’s why I’m humbly asking: Will you chip in now to support my re-election so I can continue fighting for you?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

I think often that the greatest thing we can do in government is not some magic solution to all that ails us in society, but to support people where they are. To give that father some extra pay so he can take care of his family, to help another parent rebuild their life with safe and stable housing, to help a returning citizen start a business or get an education, to pick up trash in the neighborhood so folks know the City respects them, or to help that young man walk his neighborhood without fear.

Our community is a remarkable place, and I couldn’t be more proud of all that we’ve done together to make Kansas City a better place for everyone, regardless of zip code.

I’m humbled by the opportunity to be your mayor, and I hope I can count on your support as we work together for a brighter future.

Thanks for everything,

— Mayor Q
