SHAPING THE FUTURE
Leawood is undertaking a major update to its Comprehensive Plan & Development Ordinance - two key documents that will guide how our city grows over the next 25 years. These updates will directly impact housing, parks, transportation, & neighborhood preservation. I’ll ensure residents have a voice throughout the process and that future growth reflects the values that make Leawood so unique.
PUBLIC SAFETY
Keeping Leawood one of the safest cities in the metro starts with strong support for our first responders. I’ll advocate for continued investment in well-trained, compassionate emergency personnel and innovative public safety programs that promote prevention, preparedness, and community trust. Together, we can ensure our neighborhoods remain safe and secure for all.
QUALITY OF LIFE
Leawood’s strong sense of community is one of its greatest assets. I’ll support the parks, programs, public art, and shared spaces that bring us together and work to ensure Leawood remains a welcoming, inclusive place for residents at every stage of life. By investing in the amenities and experiences that make our city special, we can continue building a community that residents are proud to call home.
