City Hall is the people’s house. Over the next four years, we will continue to organize on doors, in the streets, and in co-governance with our champions, new and old. The people closest to the problem are closest to the solution. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.

We are optimistic about working with all 13 members of this new City Council and with City staff to win the Kansas City of our dreams. To our neighbors: we deserve so more and we’re ready to fight for it with you. To our champions in City Hall: we got your back, ten toes down

We have monumentally shifted Kansas City, and we’re just getting started. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. That’s a wrap on the Inauguration. Co-governance begins TODAY.

What do last week’s city council results say about Kansas City politics? Are the power dynamics changing? I explore all those questions and more in my post-election analysis: kcur.org/politics-elect…

Despite giving it my all, most political establishments dismissed me as too radical. I was disappointed by the individuals who made endorsements based on profit-first interests on behalf of organizations and institutions that claim to serve poor and working-class people. (4/7)

@KCTenantsPower had a transparent, thorough, and diligent process around endorsing campaigns. It is the only process that laid cards on the table for the campaigns and the public. (5/7)

I am not and have not ever been interested in gaining power as an individual. When I decided to run, I told people that if I was running, we were running. This campaign was a campaign by and for poor and working-class people. (1/7)

How do political orgs pull the strings behind the scenes in City Council races? @msanchezcolumn and I teamed up to interview KC orgs like Northland Strong, @KCTenantsPower and @ProChoice_MO about their process. There are some big diffs in how they work. kcbeacon.org/stories/2023/0…

The more suburban region of #KCMO called "the Northland", is often portrayed as a conservative bastion. But Tuesday's election results paint a clearer picture about this region. The southern part of the Northland is lower-income, more diverse *and* votes more progressively (1/9)

@KCTenantsPower and our people, our ideas, our vision are not the political risk. We are the inevitability.

Jenay is a profound threat to all of the bad shit that props up our ugly, ugly systems. And she brought 20,000 people along with her. This is just getting started.

And Jenay said it the whole way through: I’m poor. I struggle. These systems don’t work for us. And almost exactly half of KC voters said “I see that. I want that.” I’m ecstatic for what comes next in this city.

Lots of feelings but I want to say: Jenay ran a campaign that was completely true to her values and vision for the world. If you know Jenay—if you’ve ever heard her speak—you know when I say “her values,” it means a truly transformative, all-power-to-the-people kind of thing.

Winning was never about one election, one candidate, or one issue—winning means a better Kansas City, one where poor and working class people have the power to make decisions that impact their lives. A new day has come.

Yesterday the people of Kansas City won. KC Tenants Power is on the people’s side. We are on the side that knocks doors. We are on the side that builds trust with our neighbors. We are building a durable, long term organization to redefine the future of Kansas City.
