Here’s the truth: when Washington shuts down, Kansas City families pay the price.
Nearly 30,000 federal workers in our region, from the VA Medical Center to IRS employees, are bracing for lost paychecks, delayed services, and a lot of uncertainty about the days ahead.
While lawmakers in D.C. bicker, Mayor Quinton Lucas is focused on solutions. He’s standing up for working people, protecting essential services, and ensuring Kansas City leads with stability, not dysfunction.
This moment makes one thing clear: Kansas City can’t afford to be sidelined. We need steady, local leadership that fights for real people—not political points.
If you believe in that kind of leadership, we need your help today.
