McManus Named to Fill Council Seat | Kansas City News

Mayor Quinton Lucas has appointed former Councilman Kevin McManus to fill the vacant Sixth District at-Large seat on Kansas City’s City Council, a move set for council approval Thursday. McManus, a seasoned public servant with eight years on the council and prior experience as a state lawmaker, will serve out the remainder of Councilwoman Andrea Bough’s term — until August 2027 — after she transitions to lead the Economic Development Corporation. Mayor Lucas praised McManus’ deep roots in South Kansas City and his proven track record, emphasizing the need for strong representation from south of I-435. McManus, a personal injury attorney who returned to private practice after his council tenure, has confirmed he won’t seek election in the upcoming spring race.
