10 of 20MoreHappy early Birthday Mayor! Your doing great things for KC. Keep it up :)
I know you are busy running a city and all, but you really need to update the "occupation" category on your MySpace page. (pssst- you won!!!) :)
Thank you for the add. We think you are cool. Next time you are in Lawrence, the turkey sandwich is on us.
Really looking forward to seeing some changes around this city by someone like "us". Who cares about the stupid car issue!! Let's clean up the East side, (Paseo and beyond)! Best of luck!
Could you make Craig Ferguson of "The late late show with Craig Ferguson" an official citizen of Kansas City. He has been trying to get them from all over the country, and none of the cities that have him so far are as big as we are.
Here is the link.

Glad to see someone that has morals won this one. We look forward to your work and we stand behind you! The whole KCTalk.com Crew.
Congratulations!
While I no longer am a Kansas City resident, I am the child of two people who did vote for you, and a sister of another Funk supporter. I know you'll do a bang up job, and clean up the city politics. There's a reason I kept telling my friends from KC that they had to vote for you, and I'm glad they did. KC, my town, needed a change, and you are that change.
Thank you, KC voters, and thank you, Funk.

Mr. Funkhouser, can't wait to see the things/plans you have in store for KC. I know you'll make it an even better place to be and live.
Hopefully we can get a sports team of some kind to commit to the Sprint Center though.
Thanks for being there for us, and can't wait for the next four years!
