## Resource

Mayor Quinton Lucas is backing Kevin McManus to fill the vacant Sixth District City Council seat, a role previously held by Andrea Bough who moved to lead the Economic Development Corporation. McManus, a seasoned local politician with prior service as Mayor Pro Tem and three terms in the Missouri General Assembly, brings deep roots in South Kansas City. The mayor praised his dedication to community safety and vibrancy, and if approved, McManus will serve only the remainder of Bough’s term—ending August 1, 2027—and has no plans to run for office again in 2027. The council votes today to decide whether he officially takes the reins. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
