Prairie Village voters reject PV United candidates, measure to "abandon" government. What happens next?

Prairie Village voters turned out in record-breaking numbers on Nov. 4 to reject all six candidates backed by Prairie Village United in a decisive victory for allies of the incumbent City Council.

In all, 60% of Prairie Village voters cast ballots for a candidate who supports the municipal complex project and opposes PV United, the resident-led group at the center of a yearslong conflict in the quiet Johnson County suburb.

The candidates backed by PV United ran as a slate demanding that the city hall project be put up for a public vote and that the city cut spending and oppose any zoning changes that would increase housing density.

“PVU has said all along that they want the council to listen to voters,” Prairie Village resident Jeff Brack commented on a Facebook post after the unofficial election results were released. “Well, the voters sent a very loud and clear message about how they felt about the PVU candidates and the tactics of that group.”
