.@CeliaHack and I wrote about how Wichitans remember those that died while experiencing homelessness. You can read about a few of them โ like Momma Dee, Marvin and Russell Jones โ to honor their lives and not let their stories fade into statistics. https://t.co/r8Az6HQUA2
So lucky to work with talented @steflugli on thisโ
I got to work on the audio portion of this for @KMUW. I would love it if you give it a listen.

#StayInformed with Kansas Week!
๐บ๐๏ธ Don't miss out on the latest episode of Kansas Week with @JOverstreetKAKE, airing tonight at 7:30 p.m.!
Join the discussion with our panelists Dr. Neal Allen from @WichitaState and reporter @RealTraceAlan from @wichitabeacon.๐๐ฐ
Currently 13.9% of registered voters have voted in this primary. The last two mayoral primaries were between a 9 to 10% turn out. 36,271 people have voted as of 4:45 p.m. today
As of 11:50 a.m. the number of voters surpassed that 10% prediction but everything is running smooth. Total voters so far is 26,439 with 10,422 being votes cast today.
One year's difference. The first image is today's primary election at the Catholic Church of the Magdalen in Wichita and the second was a year ago during the primaries in 2022. @wichitabeacon
Wichita mayoral candidate Lily Wu has filed her campaign expense report, showing she's raised more than $200k this cycle. In 2019, then-candidate Brandon Whipple had about $25k and former mayor Jeff Longwell had less than half of what Wu has raised. https://t.co/cVkkV3OTtG @KMUW
One moment that stood out from tonightโs Wichita mayoral forum was Lily Wuโs response to a question about homelessness:
โOur community members who are experiencing homelessness require us to show compassion, but it also requires us to hold them accountable for their actions.โ
Not often do I get emails from colleagues in Minnesota sending stories my way that are about Wichita. Thanks @denekdryden! Keep up the great work at The Post Bulletin ๐ซก๐
