The David Alvey campaign for mayor is expanding its campaign team, according to an announcement today.
Alvey advanced to the general election in Tuesday night’s primary in a five-way contest, receiving 4,293 votes to incumbent Mayor Mark Holland’s 5,460 votes. David Haley was third with 2,511 votes.
Alvey’s daughter, Juliana Alvey, will serve as campaign chair, according to the announcement.
The campaign has also hired TJP Strategies, a strategic consulting firm founded by Patrick D. Shami, to oversee the campaign’s strategy and voter outreach. Juliana Alvey said she would do day-to-day operations and manage the administrative side of the campaign.
Juliana Alvey said the campaign received many offers from volunteers to help, and the campaign would be reaching out to the volunteers soon.
TJP Strategies will be doing consulting, strategy and utilizing data, as well as helping with outreach and social media, she said.
“I’m very confident about the team we’ve assembled and I’m encouraged by the support that we’ve received thus far,” David Alvey said in a statement. “I could not be more thankful to the team members who have been with us from the beginning, but I’m also looking forward to adding new ideas and forward-thinking to our campaign.”
Alvey, currently an at-large member of the Board of Public Utilities, is a member of Turner Community Connection, and also is an assistant principal for faculty formation at Rockhurst High School, where he leads professional development of the faculty.
“With all the investment taking place, this is a really great time for the Dotte,” Alvey said. “I’m excited to ensure that this development generates real revenues to serve all areas of Wyandotte County. I’m committed to providing quality services to all residents, including better public safety and strong neighborhoods, while reducing the amount residents pay in real tax dollars.”
Come on Dave we have to get Holland out before he gives the whole d– city away. He thinks he can run the city like he runs his church.
