Voters in the 6th District, which includes the Country Club Plaza, Brookside and Waldo, will choose between Dan Tarwater and Johnathan Duncan to fill the open seat during the June 20 general election.
Kansas City is headed back to the polls on June 20. The new City Council needs to address an urgent need for more affordable housing, recent spikes in violent crime, economic development and neighborhood livability issues like trash services, infrastructure and short-term rentals.
The April 4 election is the first under redrawn Kansas City Council districts, which means residents may be voting in a different district than they have in the past. Several races, while non-partisan, have become heated and intense.
