City council member Quinton Lucas defeated fellow council member Jolie Justus in the general election for Kansas City mayor.[1] The mayor at the time of the election was Sly James, who was term-limited. The two candidates advanced from the April 2 primary by receiving the most votes out of 11 candidates.

Although mayoral elections in Kansas City were officially nonpartisan as of 2019, James was a member of the Democratic Party, and Justus and Lucas were Democrats.[2] Prior to the election, Justus and Lucas had similar voting records on the city council.[3] But Justus emphasized her history of working closely with Mayor James—who endorsed her ahead of the primary—saying she wanted to build on the momentum of the previous decade, while Lucas presented himself as an outsider who would depart from James' path.[4][5]

Justus said that voters want "experienced leaders who are going to take this city and continue to move it forward, but at the same time have the skill and the knowledge and expertise to...start to work on some of those systemic issues that have been real problems for our city for decades."[3] She said her record on the city council and in the state Senate showed her ability to bring people together on long-term solutions.[4]

Lucas highlighted his background growing up in poverty, saying he understood "local needs from a local perspective."[6] Referring to his election matchup with Justus, he said, "I’m clearly, of the duo, the outsider. ... If you look at who’s had the closer relationship with the mayor’s office, if you look at fundraising reports...I am someone who has had to build a coalition."[3]

In addition to James' backing, Justus received former Mayor Kay Barnes' endorsement. Lucas was endorsed by The Kansas City Star, the local firefighters union, and Freedom Inc., a political organization whose mission is improving the quality of life of African Americans.[7]

Kansas City uses a council-manager system. In this form of municipal government, an elected city council—which includes the mayor and serves as the city's primary legislative body—appoints a chief executive called a city manager to oversee day-to-day municipal operations and implement the council's policy and legislative initiatives.[8] The mayor's primary responsibilities are to preside over city council meetings and official city ceremonies, and to represent the city on the state, national, and international levels.

In addition to voting for mayor, residents of the city elected all 12 members of the city council on June 18, 2019. Click here for more information on those races.

Jolie Justus

Justus’ campaign website stated the following:

“
  • Safer Communities: One of the biggest obstacles standing in the way of Kansas City’s efforts to sustain its momentum is the city’s unconscionably high crime rate, particularly the homicide rate. While other cities are experiencing a crime reduction, Kansas City is not. We cannot allow that trend to continue.
  • Educational Opportunity: Learning should be a lifelong experience. From three months old to post-retirement it’s never too early or too late to add to your education. A strong city with strong communities ensures that everyone has access to educational opportunities.
  • Jobs, Investment & Equality: Growing our economy and creating jobs are critical goals, but we can’t afford to do it in a way that creates a bigger gap between the haves and the have-nots. A big part of making Kansas City’s neighborhoods stronger is reducing inequality and making smart investments in communities that spur opportunity throughout the city.
  • Smart City, Smart Growth: From expanding the city’s efforts to be more transparent and embracing 21st century transportation options to developing a comprehensive housing plan and protecting open spaces, there is more Kansas City can do to grow smarter. Let’s give more people a reason to make Kansas City the place they call home.[21]
 ”
—Jolie Justus' campaign website (2019)[22]

Quinton Lucas

Lucas’ campaign website stated the following:

“

AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Ensuring every family has a good-paying job as well as a home where they can safely raise a family on a budget is a top priority.

A child with consistent housing does better in school. Affordable homes can attract and retain employees, making Kansas City even more appealing to businesses that want to expand or relocate to the area.

That’s why Quinton works with developers and civic leaders to put incentives in place to produce homes that every Kansas Citian has a chance to call home.

As Mayor, Quinton will take a grounds up approach to creating affordable housing by engaging the community because he knows that leaders at City Hall can’t make good decisions if they don’t what is really happening in our neighborhoods.

Quinton will prioritize additional incentives for affordable housing near bus lines and transportation hubs. He will also support the creation of a Housing Trust Fund which will bring in millions of dollars to see that housing initiatives are brought forward and completed.

REDUCING CRIME
Quinton brings together the community, law enforcement, and civic leaders to strengthen ties and open the lines of communication that make our neighborhoods safer.

As Mayor, Quinton will make sure that our law enforcement officers have the resources to do their jobs effectively and will prioritize a diverse and well-trained police force.

For too long City Hall has struggled to create a plan to stop violent crime. as mayor, Quinton will develop a coherent plan to address violent crime by coordinating with law enforcement and neighborhood leaders.

City Hall needs to review ordinance violations—As Mayor, Quinton will work to reform municipal incarceration and make sure violations are focused on protecting the public from criminal activity.

Quinton will also address our vacant buildings—rejuvenating or removing abandoned buildings can eliminate the space where crime begins.

TRANSPARENCY
You shouldn’t have to have a full-time job at City Hall to understand what your local government is doing. That is why Quinton is committed to maintaining a government that prioritizes transparency and accountability.

Quinton knows the value of public engagement and civic participation—that’s why, as Mayor, he is determined to increase communication between citizens and public officials. Strong lines of communication between the Kansas Citians and City Hall will create a more efficient and responsive government.

Quinton has a track record of building consensus on the council to pass legislation and he will continue to do so as Mayor.

We want flexibility, but we also want to know what we are binding the city to, potentially for years to come.

DEVELOPING OUR CITY
In times of economic growth, it becomes increasingly important to be strategic about how taxpayer dollars are invested so we can capitalize on opportunities. As Mayor, Quinton will be committed to making sure that every Kansas Citian benefits from Kansas City’s momentum, no matter where they live.

Quinton will take a future-oriented approach to improving transportation and infrastructure and connecting people to businesses and entertainment.[21]
