Andrew Von Lintel filed with the Riley County Clerk’s office on Monday. The 42-year-old said he has concerns with the city’s rising debt and a growing annual budget.

“It seems like in recent years we’ve been increasing both a lot,” he said. “I noticed that the state of Kansas has a debt limit on Manhattan, and we’ve used 80% of that credit limit. I don’t really see a reason why we should be doing that.”

Von Lintel grew up in Elkhart and graduated from Kansas State University in 2005 with a political science degree. He said he only recently became more interested in local politics.
