WEEKLY/SEMANAL - KANSAS CITY, MO

Kansas City’s Mexican Consul Soileh Padilla Mayer is stepping away from her post in Kansas City and is heading back to Mexico for a reassignment from the Mexico government. “I will remain entirely at your service as the Director General for North American Diplomatic Strategy at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Mexico City, where I will assume leadership and continue working tirelessly for the benefit of our societies in this prosperous and diverse North American region,” said Padilla Mayer.

U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) recently gathered with local politicians and heads of local and federal companies and non-profits to announce the passing of what Cleaver’s office calls “the most significant housing reform legislation in a generation.”
