Representing the VALUES You Share
Collaboration/Cooperation
Eddie brought all six districts together to fund the Kansas City Community Gardens—a group that“assists low-income households and community groups in the Kansas City metropolitan area to produce vegetables and fruit from garden plots located in backyard, vacant lots, and at community sites.” He is committed to cooperating with fellow councilmen and fellow districts to work together for Kansas City.
Livability
Bell served as Executive Director of the NACCC and helped bring together contractors, the Full Employment Council and the Community Action Network together all under one roof along the distress corridor. This project provides GED assistance, job search, participation in city development projects to help people develop job skills, utility and housing assistance, emergency medical care, and housing, food and livability resources in one, easy-to-access location. He is dedicated to meeting the needs of all Kansas City residents to make life better for everyone.
Safety
Every resident will tell you how important safety is to a livable, enjoyable community life. Better lighting in residential and commercial areas, security cameras, reduction of illegal dumping and blight all contribute to a safer neighborhood. Eddie Bell has voted for community improvement projects that address all of these concerns. In addition, he is a firm supporter of the Kansas City Police Department. At least one officer has declared, “Eddie Bell is the one we should be supporting.”
Beauty
He has already served four years (and is still serving) on the Public Improvement Advisory Committee where he advocates for improvements in community security, streets, parks, trails, green spaces and other improvements that make our city a great place to live. Eddie appreciates architectural and natural beauty. He is endorsed by the Sierra Club.
Education
More than a public servant, Eddie Bell is a licensed and certified educator through the American Board of Certified Teacher Excellence and the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education in Washington, D.C. He serves as a substitute teacher for public education. He is also the Superintendent of Christian Education at St. James UMC. He is also well educated himself, holding a B.S. in Public
Administration, a B.A. in Political Science and a Master’s Degree in Business Administration. He is a great example to our youth of the importance of education and what you can accomplish at an early age when you are committed and hard working.
Integrity/Moral Compass
Like many professionals, at one point Eddie left Kansas City to seek greater opportunities. But his moral compass led him home again. He asked, “Why would I make another city better when I can go home and improve my own?”
Since his return, Eddie has devoted uncounted hours of community service. His consulting business, Clearpointe Executive Consulting, helps local KC businesses grow from 5-figures to 6-figures in less than a year, bringing jobs, income and tax revenue that benefit our community.
Faith
Eddie Bell is a church going man and he’s not afraid to hide it. When you ask him why he does what he does—serves on committees, makes the 5th District more livable, beautifies the community to fight blight, serves on non-profit boards, and more—when you really push him, it all comes down to faith and loving his neighbor. He came home to Kansas City to make a difference. Your vote will let him do just that.
Hope
Without hope, very little becomes of our lives. To many people in the 5th District, hope means hoping for a better life. A better life looks like a better job, increased skills, houses that are lived in instead of crumbling to the ground. Hope looks like a vacant lot filled with a community garden instead of piles of trash. Hope looks like getting the care you need when you’re down on your luck. Eddie Bell has faith that his service as a City Councilman will bring you HOPE.
