Henry,

The Rolling Meadows Neighborhood Association will meet on Monday, July 21 at 6:30 p.m. The program will be a Mayoral Candidate Forum for the candidates for Mayor.

Our meeting will be at 3800 SE Michigan, the building that used to be owned by American Legion Post One. Currently the building is being used by the Iglesia Casa De Dios Topeka church.  

Each candidate will have 5 minutes to talk about themselves including why they want to be the mayor.  Questions will be asked of each candidate and there will be time for questions and answers after all candidates have spoken.

Please let me know if you have questions.

Thanks

Judy

From a voter

The Capital Journal article on the mayor forum portrayed you positively, though it was reduced to soundbites. Sean and I have concerns about illegally placed Duncan for mayor signs, which are too early, too close to streets, and on public property, suggesting they should be removed. As your unofficial advisor, I recommend focusing on waste, fraud, abuse, and the "good old boy" network, as these resonate with voters. Key issues include the hotel, tax foreclosure on the race track, JEDO/Chamber/Go Topeka, and the AT&T building, though the latter may be tricky due to visible construction. I'll promote your success in bringing quality businesses to Topeka and your commercial realty projects to avoid self-promotion. Continue attending public events like those at Evergy Plaza and leverage NOTO's popularity. Your property listings are a smart promotional tool. Grassroots efforts like yard signs and door-to-door campaigning, as you did for the City Council, are effective. You're connecting well with lower-income voters, who dislike good old boy projects and lack of entertainment like the race track. Consider hosting a local music event or focusing on historical community ties (e.g., McClure Street, Colmery Hospital) to appeal to older voters. Visiting retirement communities can also score points. My background in Kansas politics—through my mom's legislative work, my dad's hospital lobbying, and my own experience as a young lobbyist and campaign volunteer—gives me insight, though it's dated. I was active on Free Republic and CJ Online as AdAstra, and now stir debate on Facebook, though I avoid political posts on my own feed, focusing on personal content.
