KMUW Voter Guide: Where the District 6 Candidates Stand — Read, Compare, Decide

KMUW recently published their Voter Guide covering the three-way race for Wichita City Council, District 6, giving voters direct insight into each candidate’s priorities and plans.

This questionnaire highlights how I — Maggie Ballard — approach the issues that matter most to our neighborhoods, from affordable housing to preserving historic character, balancing taxes, and addressing homelessness with compassion and accountability.

Why Maggie’s Responses Stand Out

Deep roots in District 6 — I grew up here, built businesses here, and have led service efforts in our community.

Track record of action — From incentivizing housing development to converting vacant commercial space, I’ve pushed policies that move the needle.

Balanced, principled approach — I support targeted, short-term sales tax only when tied to infrastructure with a clear sunset; I believe in using incentives and smart planning rather than blanket mandates.

Community-centered solutions — On homelessness, I’ve advocated for shelters with wraparound services, not just temporary fixes.
