Gary Enrique Bradley-Lopez Announces Candidacy for Kansas City Board of Public Utilities
KANSAS CITY, KS – Today, Gary Enrique Bradley-Lopez, a local teacher, father, and proud Wyandotte Countian, announced his candidacy for the Kansas City Board of Public Utilities. With a deep commitment to affordability, sustainability, and community engagement, Bradley-Lopez is poised to bring fresh leadership to the BPU, advocating for the needs of Kansas City's families, students, and small businesses.
“I’m running for the Board of Public Utilities because I believe every family and business in Kansas City deserves access to affordable, reliable utilities,” said Bradley-Lopez. “I’ve seen firsthand how the high cost of utilities impacts our community. Whether it's a family without lights, a student unable to charge their iPad, or a small business struggling to stay open, we need a board that prioritizes the needs of the people.”
Bradley-Lopez shared a deeply personal experience from his own life: “I’ll never forget the day I got a call, that my sitting in the dark, because our power had been cut off due to a bill less than $100 that hadn't been fully paid. That’s not just an isolated issue—it’s a reality for too many Kansas City families.”
As a dedicated teacher, father of three, and husband, Bradley-Lopez understands the pressures that rising utility costs place on working families. He also knows the strain they place on small businesses, particularly those owned by Black and Brown entrepreneurs, who struggle to survive under the weight of expensive overhead costs.
Bradley-Lopez, who holds a Master’s in Organizational Leadership and has experience in community engagement, aims to bring a more transparent and accountable approach to the Board of Public Utilities. He is committed to ensuring that BPU policies are designed to benefit everyone, not just large corporations.
His Key Priorities Include:
💡 Affordability: Reducing utility costs for families and small businesses.
💡Transparency: Ensuring clear communication between the BPU and Kansas City residents.
💡 Sustainability: Promoting green energy solutions to create a more sustainable future.
💡 Community Engagement: Bringing the voices of residents to the decision-making table.
“I’m running because Kansas City deserves better leadership on the Board of Public Utilities,” Bradley-Lopez said. “It’s time for a change—one that makes sure no one is left in the dark, financially or literally.”
Bradley-Lopez invites Kansas City residents to join his campaign for a more affordable, sustainable, and transparent future. Remember it's your voice, your utilities!
