​Michael Todd is a lifelong resident of Eastern Jackson County. He has lived in Grain Valley his entire life and attended Grain Valley schools from kindergarten through High School Graduation. After High School Graduation he attended the University of Central Missouri where he obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and a Master’s degree in School Administration. He taught Special Education for 26 years in the Grain Valley and Blue Springs School Districts, retiring from the Blue Springs School District in 2025. Michael has also served the City of Grain Valley as an elected official for 20 years. Six years as an Alderman and 14 years as Mayor.

In addition to serving in public office as Mayor and Alderman and teaching for 26 years, Todd serves in the community by chairing the work of the Grain Valley Fair Board (Including the Grain Valley Fair and Grain Valley First Fridays) and is a Board Member of the Grain Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Grain Valley Historical Society.

Michael currently resides in Grain Valley with his wife Tosha and his daughter Harper.
  • Infrastructure- As a local elected official Michael knows the struggles our communities in Eastern Jackson County face with infrastructure. Many of our main roads and bridges are under MODOT or county control. This can make it difficult to get improvements done. He wants to work on cutting the red tape and securing funding to get these needed projects done.
  • Home Affordability- Michael is committed to limiting large institutional investors from purchasing excessive numbers of single‑family homes—a practice that drives up housing prices, inflates rents, and pushes homeownership out of reach for local families. He has seen firsthand how major, often out‑of‑state investors buy hundreds of homes for rental portfolios, reducing availability for traditional homebuyers and making it harder for residents to build long‑term stability in their own communities.
  • 2nd Amendment Rights- As an avid hunter who has made many memories in the Missouri outdoors with his dad, grandpa, uncles, and now daughter, it is important to him to make sure our 2nd Amendment Rights continue to be protected for generations of outdoorsmen to come.
