MEET NYAUNA CRAVENS

Dedicated to Serving Our Community

I have been proud to call Lee’s Summit home for more than 20 years, where my husband and I are raising our two daughters. Our family is deeply rooted in this community, and I am committed to helping ensure that Lee’s Summit remains a safe, welcoming, and thriving place for all residents.

Growing up in a struggling neighborhood in Kansas City, I saw firsthand how local government decisions shape communities—impacting safety, accessibility, and economic opportunity. Those experiences fueled my passion for civic engagement and problem-solving. They taught me the importance of strong leadership and the lasting difference that thoughtful, community-focused decisions can make.

I believe strong communities are built through collaboration, and I am committed to being a voice for the residents of Lee’s Summit. I bring strong communication skills, a dedication to problem-solving, and the ability to build consensus. I have the willingness, experience, and determination needed to make informed, strategic decisions that benefit all who call our city home.

Lee’s Summit is thriving, but maintaining our high quality of life requires intention and foresight. I will work tirelessly to ensure that all voices in our community are heard and valued. I am committed to engaging residents, bringing fresh ideas to the table, and advocating for policies that reflect the needs and priorities of our city.
