District 4
Council Member Dalton Glasscock
Greetings from Dalton
Dear Friends,

New Year, new Representative! This month, I was officially sworn in as the Wichita City Council District 4 Representative, and I am honored to be your voice. Wichita is a City created by pioneers and dreamers, doers and visionaries. I look forward to championing the heart of the heartland and working for the people who weather the storm.....YOU!

As 2024 begins, my priorities are: stay engaged and be available to you. Starting in March, I will host monthly District 4 Breakfasts on the 1st Saturday of the month at 9:30 am. On Saturday, March 2nd we will be at the Auburn Hills Golf Course Clubhouse at 443 S 135th St West. I look forward to hearing about your priorities and passions. I plan to bring investments to South Wichita and help those who feel like they have been left behind.

Look out for an updated version of the City of Wichita District newsletter you know and love - which will be called City Hall Highlights! This is an effort led by the City's Communications Team to keep residents better informed and bring more consistency to our newsletters.

As always, feel free to reach out to me if you have a question or would like to meet to discuss your perspective on issues and opportunities in our City. Please let me know if you have any ideas or information on Senior Living Centers and Business Associations/Groups for me to reach out to & engage with at DGlasscock@wichita.gov.

Cheers to the next 4 years,

Wichita City Council
