During my last year as Roeland Park City Council President, before joining the County Commission, I proposed preserving our city’s history and educating the community about its people, places, and events. I envisioned historical signs and a book documenting our rich history.

I have always believed that if you don’t know where you have been, you won’t know where you are going.

Nine years later, it was incredibly meaningful to see that dream become a reality with the ribbon cutting of the first historical sign, placed in front of City Hall.

Preserving our history isn’t just about looking back—it’s about honoring those who came before us, understanding how our community became what it is today, and making sure future generations know the story of where they call home.

I’m proud to have planted the seed nine years ago, and even prouder to see it now taking root. What a wonderful way to preserve our city’s legacy for generations to come! ❤️

Thank you to everyone who came to our Meet and Mingle in Merriam! It was such a great turnout, and I had a fantastic time meeting so many neighbors. I’m so thankful for the chance to hear your ideas and chat about what’s next for Johnson County. A special thank you to the organizers Roxie Drautz, and to Jeff and Diana Patterson for hosting the event and opening up their lovely historic home. Mayor Pape also shared some gracious and kind words about how well Merriam and Johnson County work together on many projects from flood control to libraries to road improvements. 🌻

Your support, encouragement, and enthusiasm mean the world to me. I’m truly grateful to have you on this journey with me! 🙏

August 17th is always a challenging day for social workers and our Johnson County Mental Health staff. It marks the day we lost Teri Zenner, a dedicated community servant who was tragically killed while serving her community. As a social worker myself, it’s a day of reflection and sadness.

In the aftermath of Teri’s death, I collaborated closely with her husband, Matt, to secure federal funding for training Johnson County mental health workers on safety protocols. We also worked together to pass a state law in 2010, ensuring that every licensed social worker in Kansas completes social work safety training.

In 2022, I spearheaded the initiative to establish a lasting tribute to Teri Zenner’s life and legacy. We dedicated the Teri Zenner Memorial Garden at 11120 W 65th St, Shawnee, KS 66203, as a place of remembrance and honor.

Teri was a compassionate person who dedicated her life to serving others and improving the quality of life of others, and that Teri made sacrifices to do that, including the ultimate sacrifice of her life. RIP Teri ❤️🥲

Here is the tribute video from the Teri Zenner Memorial Garden dedication.
