Why I'm Running

I've been blessed to call Frontenac home for the past 17 years. I've served on the Public Works committee since 2016, including 4 years as Chairman. When I retired, I chose to expand my role in public service and ran for Ward 1 Alderman in 2022, and being reelected in 2024. As an alderman, I’ve enjoyed listening to residents, tackling local challenges, and working to make Frontenac a better place for everyone.

Now, I’m running for mayor to continue that work—bringing people together, cutting through red tape, and ensuring our local government serves our community effectively. I believe real progress happens when all constituents collaborate and put the best interest of all citizens first.

By fostering teamwork and smart decision-making, I will focus on improving infrastructure, public safety, and services that directly impact our daily lives. With a commitment to transparency and accountability, I’m ready to lead with integrity and vision. Together, we can build a stronger, more connected Frontenac for everyone. I'm passionate about keeping Frontenac a great place to live.

Endorsements

I'm proud to have been endorsed by former Frontenac mayors and alderman who wrote the following letter in support of my candacy:

In addition I've also received the endorsement of the Frontenac Professional Fire Fighters. I am honored to have earned the trust and support of our firefighters during my campaign for Mayor.

"In the race for Frontenac's mayoral seat , the Frontenac Professional Fire Fighters and the Professional Fire Fighters of Eastern Missouri - lAFF Local 2665, are proud to endorse Mr. Pat Kilker for mayor of Frontenac. During our meetings with Pat, we were overwhelmingly impressed with his intellect, his depth of knowledge about the inner workings of the city, and his enthusiasm for public service. As an existing alderman, Pat's insights and perspectives will be invaluable to Frontenac's constituents and to the Fire Fighters and Paramedics entrusted to protect them."
