Issues
GOVERNMENT
Ryan has long advocated that reform is needed to modernize local government. As Commissioner, he will refocus budgets on the core functions of public works, safety and health in order to bring much needed stability and efficiency to government services — while seeking to reduce the dependence on property tax revenues.
ECONOMIC GROWTH
As an entrepreneur and small business owner, Ryan knows the importance of a healthy and growing economy. As Commissioner, he will promote regional competitiveness, responsible taxes, diversification of industry and a thriving startup culture. A healthy economy directly influences the quality of life and opportunity in our community.
MENTAL HEALTH
Ryan is determined to bring resources and reform to a growing mental health and substance abuse crisis. As Commissioner , he will bring much needed leadership that prioritizes collaboration with community partners and advocates for strategic initiatives that will help meet the needs of our citizens.
RELATIONAL HEALTH
The lack of civility and poor leadership has stagnated progress in this community. As Commissioner, Ryan is prepared to lead with integrity and transparency as a voice of hope for our citizens that have lost confidence in our local government.
“The government closest to the people, serves its people best”
-Thomas Jefferson
Success is Local
Success requires leadership that listens to the pulse of the community. Local government needs to be shaped by civility and collaboration in order to maximize the potential of our people.
As a business owner & pastor, I am excited to communicate our vision for Sedgwick County and demonstrate a plan that enhances quality of life in our community. These conversations will be focused on our economy, quality of life investment and the appropriate function of our local government.
