Meet our candidates running for County Commissioner seats. Young Professionals of Wichita is hosting a meet and greet event to give you the chance to get to know who you’ll be voting for on November 6.

Local elections are incredibly important and those elected will have a large impact on your daily lives, yet voter turnout in the last local election was only 16%.

Join us on October 12 at Lyceum at Reverie from 7:30 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. for a chance to hear from and mingle with the candidates for Sedgwick County Commission. All six candidates have been invited. Following the event we will share the responses each candidate gave to a series of questions that are pertinent to our members.

The schedule for the event will be:

7:30-8:00 a.m. – Arrival and mingle
8:00-8:30 a.m. – Brief comments from each candidate
8:30-9:00 a.m. – Additional time to meet and mingle with the candidates
