Nathan Willett

Kansas City Council member Nathan Willett's former state campaign sent to $165,000 to a nonprofit, which later gave nearly the same amount to a super PAC backing his bid for Missouri 6th Congressional District.

Several Republicans are running to replace U.S. Rep. Sam Graves, who isn’t running for reelection in Missouri’s 6th District. Kansas City Council member Nathan Willett shares what his priorities would be if he is elected, and why he thinks he’s the right fit for the job.

Retiring Congressman Sam Graves endorsed Chris Stigall, a nationally syndicated talk radio host, to replace him. But that brought a fiery response from Kansas City Councilman Nathan Willett, who dropped out of a race for an open state Senate seat to file for Congress.

Candidates are filing to represent Kansas City with a run for Missouri's 4th, 5th and 6th districts under a redrawn congressional map. Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas won't be among them.
