There are contested races for two seats on the Leawood city council this year, as well as two more uncontested races.

You can read candidates’ responses to our questionnaire below and see video of the forum the Post held earlier this fall.

Candidates in uncontested races were not asked to respond to the questionnaire or participate in the forum.

Ward 1

In Ward 1, Sarah Meuli and Matt Peppes are running for the seat currently held by Debra Filla, who is not running for reelection after holding the position for more than 20 years. Meuli is not running an active campaign.

• You can access Sarah Meuli’s webpage by the election office here.
• You can access Matt Peppes’ campaign website here.

Ward 2

• Current Councilmember Mary Larson is seeking a third term and is running unopposed.

Ward 3

In Ward 3, Mitch Lohr, Rachel Rubin and Daniel Taylor are vying for the seat currently held by Councilmember Chuck Sipple, who is not running for reelection.

Due to Leawood’s own rules, this three-person race was not subject to a primary in August, so the top vote-getter in November will win the seat. Taylor is not running an active campaign.

• You can access Mitch Lohr’s campaign website here.
• You can access Rachel Rubin’s campaign website here.
• You can access Daniel Taylor’s webpage by the election office here.

Ward 4

• Current Councilmember Julie Cain is running for reelection unopposed.
