The mayor of Kansas City, Kansas is the highest official of the city government. In 1997, voters approved the consolidation of the Kansas City, Kansas government with that of Wyandotte County. The office has since been referred to as "mayor/CEO" of the "United Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas." However, in popular terms, the head executive is called the mayor.[1]
