I AM IN! Let's Go Geary 1
I Am Officially Running for Geary County Commission – District 1
Today is an important day. I am proud to announce that I have officially filed to run for Geary County Commission in District 1.
Over the last couple of months, I have personally gathered signatures from across District 1 and spoken with hundreds of Geary County residents. The response has been incredibly encouraging — many people expressed real excitement about having a strong, conservative candidate willing to fight for our community. These conversations reinforced my belief that now is the time to step up and bring principled leadership to county government.
Local decisions matter — and they deserve leaders who will put Geary County families, farmers, and small businesses first.
Below is the official press release announcing my candidacy:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
David Schneider Files for Geary County Commission, District 1
Junction City, KS – May 28, 2026 – David P. Schneider, a rural Milford area resident, successful small business owner, and dedicated conservative community leader, announced today that he has filed to run for Geary County Commission in District 1.
“I am filing for Geary County Commission because local government matters,” said Schneider. “Decisions made at the county level directly impact our families, our farms, our businesses, and our communities. I believe in limited government, fiscal responsibility, and putting the interests of Geary County citizens first.”
Schneider brings extensive experience in business, finance, and grassroots leadership to the race. As the owner of a local insurance inspection company and a former business banker with 18 years in the finance industry, he understands the challenges facing small businesses and the importance of responsible economic development. He previously served as Regional Director and Kansas State Director for the Convention of States Project, where he helped lead successful efforts for constitutional reforms, including term limits for Congress and a federal balanced budget amendment.
A resident of rural Milford, Schneider and his wife Cecilia are deeply committed to the Flint Hills region. Schneider is a familiar sight on rooftops across the area, conducting insurance inspections for hail and wind claims for major insurance companies. Cecilia works as a social worker at Fort Riley and serves as supervisor of the Family Advocacy Program. Together they have six children, three of whom work in Kansas public schools, including one in USD 475.
David is a graduate of Fort Hays State University, where he was a varsity wrestler. He is a 34-year member of the Knights of Columbus, a lifetime member of the Kansas Rifle Association, currently serves as Milford Township Republican Committeeman, and was elected to the Kansas Republican Party State Committee in 2024.
“I will fight for you and your family,” Schneider added. “I understand the proper role of government is to protect our rights, not hinder our success. I want Geary County to be the pride of the Flint Hills — a place where families want to live, work, and thrive. I will demand transparency in county government and champion policies that support our veterans, farmers, small businesses, and families. Geary County deserves strong, principled leadership that respects our constitutional values.”
