2016
Reeser made the following statement to Ballotpedia regarding his political philosophy:[2]
| “ |
While serving on the Wichita City Council I advocated against raising the property tax mill and I was one of the first to advocate for community policing, which I believe reduce the crime rate without damaging the overall city budget. I also had numerous paving and drainage projects completed that had been “sitting” in the City’s Capital Improvement Projects – some as long as 10 years. I also helped save various historical landmarks most notably the John Mack Bridge. Public service has dominated my life even as a young man straight out of high school at the age of 18, I served on the Wichita’s Citizen Participation Organization, which is now called District Advisory Boards.
