Johnathan Duncan

Johnathan is a community organizer and Iraq war veteran who is committed to ensuring safe, accessible, and truly affordable housing for all. He is running for a seat on the Kansas City City Council in the Sixth District, and his platform focuses on municipal social housing, climate justice, and ensuring that those most impacted by problems have a voice and a seat at the table when crafting policy solutions.

As a combat veteran with PTSD, Johnathan understands the cost of public services that fail those who need them most. He credits the compassion of his community with helping him recover and thrive. However, he sees a lack of community support in Kansas City and has thus dedicated himself to organizing. Johnathan has experience organizing on his college campus with student veterans, as well as with the Veterans of Foreign Wars and KC Tenants, a city-wide tenant union. Through his organizing work, he has seen firsthand the power of community support and the beauty of a vision for a Kansas City where everyone can thrive, not just survive.
