About Bryan Frye

Hello Wichita. My name is Bryan Frye and I’m a lifelong Wichitan with deep roots in the community. I’ve lived south & north of Kellogg and east & west of the Canal Route. I’m a graduate of Wichita Southeast High School and Wichita State University with a B.A. in Marketing. I’m also a double boomerang, returning to Wichita the first time after my freshman year at KU and again after starting my career in Dallas, TX.

A firm belief in serving my city is what led me to my current position as a Wichita City Councilmember. Throughout my career, I’ve volunteered for numerous non-profit groups helping to make things better for all. I currently serve as a board member at seven different organizations, deliver for Meals on Wheels, & ring bells for the Salvation Army Red Kettle campaign.  Prior to being elected in 2015, I spent six years on my neighborhood homeowner’s association board of directors.

In addition to city council, I work for the Kansas Chamber as the Senior Director of Investor Relations and I’m a founding partner at a local technology company. Past career stops include being the marketing director for a distribution business and two different Wichita TV stations.

I’ve been married for 33 years to my wife Sheila & we have two children. My hobbies include spending time at the lake, cheering on the KC Chiefs and finding the perfect craft beer, locally brewed of course.

Wichita Made.
Wichita Motivated.

Why am I seeking election to serve Wichita as your next Mayor? Simply put, I’m blessed to be a Wichitan and it’s my hope others are proud to say the same thing.

Wichita is my home.
My parents met in Wichita.
My brother & I were raised in Wichita.
I met my wife in Wichita.
Together, we’ve raised two wonderful kids in Wichita.
Educated at public schools and universities in Wichita.
I started my career in Wichita.
I’m part of a growing tech company in Wichita.
I’ve helped raise millions of dollars for non-profits in Wichita.
I’ve served on boards & volunteered thousands of hours in Wichita.
Honored to be elected nearly 8 years ago to represent northwest Wichita.

I give you my history in Wichita to share how much it has blessed me with good fortune and opportunities. It matters that you know WHY I am and not WHO I am. So, when I say Bryan Frye for Wichita, you can believe it.
