A crowded race to represent all of Wyandotte County on the Board of Commissioners

Wyandotte County voters will head to the polls on Aug. 5 for the first round of primary elections for the Unified Government’s chief governing body.

Half of the county’s Board of Commissioners, plus the mayor, are up for election this year. The winners will face decisions about how taxpayer dollars are spent and how to address issues like safety, housing and property taxes.

In the 2nd At-Large District, incumbent Tom Burroughs has decided not to run for reelection, instead running to replace Tyrone Garner as mayor and CEO of Wyandotte County. That leaves an open seat, attracting five candidates from across the county.

The top two finishers after the August primary election will appear on the November ballot to determine the final winner.
