Hello! I am Justin Short.
Where is the Second District?
There are six districts in Kansas City, three of which include areas in the Northland. Each District has two City Council representatives.
The at-large City Council member is elected citywide, while the in-district City Council member is elected only by residents who live in that district.

Of course! As a member of the City's legislative body, all areas of Kansas City are important to its overall success. While my primary focus will be the Second District, I can still help get you the answers you need and be your voice at City Hall.

Are you curious about how City Council works?

Ordinances and resolutions must pass through committee sessions, where they are reviewed by select council members and are subject to public testimony. Once they move through committee, they advance to the Legislative Session, which is held on Thursdays before the full Council and the Mayor.
