Do you feel like enough wasn't done after Cedric Lofton's death?

The Wichita Beacon went through every recommendation the community task force made and gave them a grading on how much work has been done to complete each. Read the report below: https://t.co/zdRDwd9z6B

.@CeliaHack and I wrote about how Wichitans remember those that died while experiencing homelessness. You can read about a few of them — like Momma Dee, Marvin and Russell Jones — to honor their lives and not let their stories fade into statistics. https://t.co/r8Az6HQUA2

So lucky to work with talented @steflugli on this—

I got to work on the audio portion of this for @KMUW. I would love it if you give it a listen.

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 tonight’s Wichita mayoral forum was Lily Wu’s response to a question about homelessness:

“Our community members who are experiencing homelessness require us to show compassion, but it also requires us to hold them accountable for their actions.”
