Prairie Village Councilmember Jori Nelson won’t seek re-election, Cole Robinson files for Ward 1 seat
Prairie Village City Councilmember Jori Nelson announced Thursday that she will not seek re-election this year.
Nelson, who was first elected to represent Ward 1 — which covers the part of the city that sits north of 71st Street — in 2014, said in an emailed press release that she has decided not to run for a third term. She said she has fulfilled the goals she set nearly eight years ago when she first ran for office.
Prairie Village’s Ward 1 covers the northern portion of the city of more than 20,000.
