Ryan Baty (right) is running as a Republican against incumbent Democrat Lacey Cruse.

Lacey Cruse and Ryan Baty agree on what the issues are for District 4, but how those issues are solved in a district as diverse as District 4 is another story.

In one of the most competitive and high-profile Sedgwick County Commission races this election cycle, incumbent Lacey Cruse faces Republican Ryan Baty for the District 4 seat.

District 4 covers Wichita suburbs Maize, Park City, and Valley Center, and stretches into north Wichita and downtown.
