Mayor Skoog has done an excellent job of steering the city of Overland Park, as far as bringing in new businesses; working to increase walkable, mixed-use areas across the city; continuing to build up parks; and prioritizing safety. I am especially happy with the OPCAT program (Overland Park Crisis Action Team), which provides trauma-informed mental health support during emergency calls, as needed. Mayor Skoog also adopted a Non-Discrimination Ordinance, protecting the rights of our LGBTQ+ families, friends, and neighbors. These priorities have led to Overland Park frequently being highly ranked on lists of Best Places to live, work, play, and retire. Skoog is also a Gun Sense Candidate, meaning he has pledged to govern with gun violence prevention in mind.
