"I love my family, community and city and to me, there is no greater opportunity than to serve them," Kays said. "I am conservative by nature, but after talking to friends and neighbors, I don't know if their concerns are being heard and I want to represent them."
Kays filed to run for Ward 1, Position 2 against incumbant alderman Danny Steele.
