North Kansas City parks advocate earns seat on City Council over incumbent
A local parks and recreation advocate won a seat on the North Kansas City Council over an incumbent during Tuesday’s municipal election, when six candidates vied for four open seats.
Synthia Larson, one of two challengers in Tuesday’s race to sit on the council, beat incumbent Yvonne Salinas to represent Ward 4. Incumbents maintained their seats in the three other wards.
Larson earned her seat with around 61% of the 94 votes, while Salinas fell short with 38% of the votes.
Larson currently serves as the president of the Board of Directors for the North Kansas City Parks and Recreation Foundation and is a member of the Parks and Recreation board.
