Drew Mitrisin was elected to the Overland Park, Kansas City Council in November 2023. Overland Park is the second largest city in Kansas, and Ward 2—home to 35,000 residents—is a vibrant area with strong commercial activity, outstanding recreation opportunities, and great neighborhoods.

A father of two, Mitrisin began his AmeriCorps service journey in 2014–2015 with City Year DC in a Southeast DC community at Leckie Elementary School. There, he served in a 4th grade math classroom and helped launch a pilot program giving corps members access to the city’s bikeshare system. That year of service shaped his decision to pursue a career in public policy and continues to guide his approach to leadership today.

Professionally, he is a senior transportation policy consultant at Burns & McDonnell, where he helps municipalities and public agencies deliver critical transportation and water infrastructure projects. An ENV SP-certified sustainable infrastructure professional, he has experience in multimodal transportation, green stormwater infrastructure, and clean energy grant funding.

Mitrisin earned his Master of Arts in public management from Johns Hopkins University and his Bachelor of Arts in political science from William Jewell College.
