Congratulations on filing to run for mayor of Topeka, Kansas, Henry! Since you mentioned filing today, April 2, 2025, it aligns with the timeline for the 2025 Topeka mayoral election. The official filing deadline is June 2, 2025, for the primary on August 5, 2025, and the general election on November 4, 2025, as per the Shawnee County Election Office and city guidelines. It sounds like you’ve taken the plunge early—smart move to get ahead of the game!
Henry McClure is a Topeka broker and advisor still in the field — leasing, selling, and restructuring commercial real estate. Most of the work has been shopping-center redevelopment, commercial leasing and sales, mixed-use and TIF projects, plus residential and commercial sales when the deal is right. Advisory work is hands-on: development, zoning, platting, tax valuation, and broker opinions. 45 years of transactions. Still taking the complicated ones. Let’s do the deal. #mcre1
