A Safer, Stronger, Smarter Lee's Summit - Together

Beto Lopez has spent decades helping Lee’s Summit grow responsibly, stay safe, and remain one of the most vibrant communities in Missouri. Now, he’s ready to continue leading our city forward — with proven experience, steady leadership, and a heart for service.

Because Lee’s Summit deserves leadership that listens.

We all want the same things — safe neighborhoods, thriving local businesses, and a city that plans for the future while protecting what makes it special. Beto Lopez has been part of this community for over 30 years. He and his wife Venessa raised their family here, volunteered here, and built their careers here. Beto understands what makes Lee’s Summit great — and what it takes to keep it that way.

“Our city’s future depends on steady, collaborative leadership that puts people first.”

Beto Lopez

Providing a clear plan for the city we love.

As Mayor, Beto will focus on three priorities that strengthen our city from every angle — public safety, economic vitality, and trusted leadership.

Safe Communities

Lee’s Summit is one of the safest communities in Missouri — because we invest wisely in our first responders. Beto has supported new fire stations, modernized equipment, and mental health resources for police and fire professionals — all funded through no-tax-increase bond initiatives. He’ll continue ensuring our teams have what they need to keep every family safe.

Smart Growth

Growth should enhance our quality of life — not overwhelm it. Beto brings 25+ years in real estate and economic development, helping attract high-quality employers while keeping our neighborhoods strong. As Mayor, he’ll focus on balanced growth, better infrastructure, and workforce partnerships that create jobs close to home.

Leadership & Experience

Beto’s leadership isn’t about politics — it’s about results. Serving as Mayor Pro Tem, he’s helped guide Lee’s Summit through record growth, major infrastructure improvements, and regional partnerships that put our city on the map. As Mayor, Beto will continue to lead with collaboration, transparency, and integrity.
