As a fourth generation South Wichitan, Dalton Glasscock is a community volunteer, teacher and small business owner, running to represent Southwest Wichita on the Wichita City Council. Dalton grew up in a working class family where Glasscock learned the value of hard work from his mother’s management of her own small business and his dad’s work in the aviation industry at Cessna, a Textron Aviation Company .
As a lifelong Wichitan, Dalton has served the community in a multitude of ways including as a former Sedgwick County Commissioner, member of the Sedgwick County Mental Health Advisory Board, member of the Wichita Metro Crime Commission, and the City of Wichita’s Fourth District Advisory Board. Glasscock is an active member of his church in which he serves as its’ Board Chairman.
Dalton graduated from the Wichita area and went on to receive his Bachelors in Business Administration from Wichita State University and continued his studies at The George Washington University receiving his Masters of Arts in Education and Human Development.
Prior to his work in the private sector as a business executive and owner, Dalton specialized in military and veteran casework, helping our servicemen and women navigate federal bureaucracy and receive the benefits they deserve.
Dalton lives in Southwest Wichita, in Wichita’s Delano District with his dog Astra.- Support our emergency services: Dalton believes we must fully fund our emergency responders – police and fire, as well as support personnel in our city’s administrative offices. Our first responders and public service workers must be given competitive pay and state-of-the-art equipment. For too long, Wichita has worked to catch up with pay scales for our firefighters and police officers instead of leading in offering salaries that draw people to our community.
- Ensure Wichita is open for business: Dalton is committed to cutting red tape and rolling out the red carpet. The more we empower our business leaders and remove burdens to development the more we will see Wichita thrive. We must work to create the environment to attract private investment on the South side and build on its’ legacy as the manufacturing core of our city.
- Get Government back to the basics: Governments, at all levels, have lost their purpose. Wichita must get back to the basics and that includes maintaining a high quality of life, first and foremost, with strategic improvements to our city’s roads, bridges, and transportation infrastructure. Our community gathering places demands world-class facilities and amenities as well as routine investments in order to avoid deferred maintenance.
