InfoHenry Klein wants to be a Mayor for ALL of Kansas City. Klein believes that our next Mayor must have real-world ideas and time-tested experience and must hold an unwavering commitment to extend the benefits of our civic revival to every corner of the city.

Klein was recruited right out of college by a Fortune 500 company after having earned a B.S. in Business Marketing at Indiana University. Klein’s ability to think strategically, forge partnerships and manage a nation-wide network of corporate resources helped to develop his skills and set the stage for public leadership. During his 20 years at RR Donnelley, Klein started the Kansas City office and achieved over $200 million in sales for the company.

Today, Klein is active in the day-to-day life of the Community. Klein serves as chairman of the Habitat for Humanity Volunteer Committee. Klein also participates with Evening Care, a mentoring program for the developmentally disabled that is sponsored by Valley View United Methodist Church. Klein has served as Vice President of the Humane Society of Greater Kansas City, he has tutored at the Crosslines Adult Literacy Program and he has represented and advocated for children in troubled homes in the court system with CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate).

In 2004, Klein was a volunteer staff member with the Emanuel Cleaver for Congress campaign. He worked closely with civic and community leaders to ensure that Kansas City had the best representation in Congress.

Klein, 44, lives in Brookside. Klein is currently engaged to Betsy Spears. Betsy has three kids: Ashley (23), Danielle (18) and William (14).


Those Who Know Henry Respect His Energy, Compassion and Vision

As Henry’s fiancée, I want to share with you what I know about Henry Klein.

For as long as I’ve known Henry, he has talked about the need for a new kind of leadership for this city. I see Henry as someone who understands the needs of people in ways that career politicians cannot. So it came as no surprise when he told me that he was considering a run for the mayor’s office.

When Henry dedicates himself to a goal, there is really no stopping him. Henry invests his energies into his work and his volunteer efforts with tremendous success. He is dedicated to making Kansas City a great place to live, to work, to raise a family, to own a small business and to pursue the American Dream.

I greatly admire Henry’s courage and the strength of his convictions. He understands the challenges in being Mayor and I know he is ready for the task.

Henry is kind, thoughtful and dedicated. He offers Kansas City voters real-world experience and new ideas. I believe that once you get to know Henry, you will think so too.
