One of the candidates for Sedgwick County Treasurer in Tuesday’s election wants to be the last person ever elected to the office. “I hope to be the last who has to run for this seat,” said Democrat Charity Kennedy, who is campaigning in part on eliminating the role of county treasurer as an elected position and transitioning it to a nonpolitical staff role. “Imagine a county treasurer who is devoted totally to serving the public instead of worrying about her next election. Right now, after reviewing certain financials of the treasurer’s office, I’m seeing opportunities for more efficient use of taxpayer funds. It’s time we demand a culture of taxpayer trust in Sedgwick County government.”
