Steele Reynolds is running for Ward 1 City Council in Shawnee.
His web site has the following statement: "As a parent, business owner, and neighbor, Steele understands the importance of smart growth, safe neighborhoods, and transparent leadership."
Hmmm, transparent leadership? Then why has he failed to file his "Statement of Substantial Interest" form? A form that was required to be filed by 6/10/25. As of this Friday, 7/275/25 it still was not showing on the JoCo Election web site. This is a very important form as it requires candidates and their spouses, to indicate their sources of income, and certain investments. Sources only, no dollar amounts are required. The intent of the form is to bring out any possible conflicts of interest between income sources, investments, and actions that one may take as an elected official. Note that failure to submit the form is a class B misdemeanor.
So, why is he being hypocritical about touting transparency.
The images below show (1) a screen capture of the JoCo Election website that shows the only form he submitted was the appointment of a treasurer and (2) the campaign finance due date checklist as provided to all candidates. Requirements of the SOSI is right at the top. Clicking on the images below should provide a larger view.
