Kansas City, MO, September 3, 2026 — Kevin McManus has been appointed as the new City Council member representing Kansas City’s 6th District at-large. The appointment fills a vacancy created by the departure of Andrea Bough, who recently moved to lead the Economic Development Corp. of Kansas City.

Mayor Quinton Lucas made the appointment, bringing McManus back to the City Council. McManus brings prior experience from his time as a City Council member, as well as a tenure as a state representative. He is set to serve the remainder of the term previously held by Andrea Bough.

The 6th District at-large position became open when Bough transitioned to her new role with the Economic Development Corp. of Kansas City. This organization plays a significant part in the city’s economic strategy and growth initiatives.

His background includes legislative work at the state level and direct involvement in city governance, providing him with a foundation for his new role. The specific details regarding the duration of the remainder of Bough’s term were not provided in the summary.

The appointment by Mayor Lucas aims to ensure continued representation for the 6th District at-large constituents. McManus is expected to take up his duties and begin serving on the council, contributing to ongoing city business and legislative matters. Further information regarding the timeline for his official swearing-in or initial committee assignments was not specified.
