## Resource

Lawrence’s new city manager, Majed Al-Ghafry, is bringing a fresh, ethical, and community-centered approach to leadership. Coming from DeSoto, Texas, he’s committed to transparency, accountability, and real impact — starting with a bold one-year plan covering housing, homelessness, public safety, and economic growth. He believes in empowering city departments, tackling homelessness through holistic support, and forging stronger ties with local universities to create jobs and retain talent. Al-Ghafry wants to be deeply involved in the community, listening to residents and working side-by-side to build a better, more inclusive Lawrence — and he’s already planning to make it his home.
