BIOGRAPHY
A lifelong Kansan and native of
Olathe, Commissioner John Toplikar has been a tireless public servant
for more than 18 years. Currently serving his second term as the Sixth
District County Commissioner, Toplikar proudly serves the western half
and southwest corner of Johnson County.
Throughout his career as a residential carpenter, Toplikar has
demonstrated a genuine commitment to public service during his tenure at
city, county and state levels of government. During his two years
(at-large) as a member of the Olathe City Council, and in representing
the Fifteenth District in the Kansas House of Representatives for more
than a decade, plus 5 years at the County, he has always worked to
represent views "of the people, by the people,
and for the people."
The insights and experiences gained in his many years in elected office
and community service have afforded Toplikar a greater understanding of
the issues of critical importance to his constituents. He has made
fiscal accountability a top personal priority as he works to ensure the
delivery of quality services and the essential programs of county
government.
“Keeping Johnson County an affordable place to live is a top priority in
my role as a county commissioner,” says Toplikar. Toplikar has also made
a top priority the enhancement of key components of county
infrastructure, including roads and public safety.
In addition to the demands and responsibilities of his career and
elected office, Toplikar has also earned a reputation as a community
volunteer with the Knights of Columbus, Special Olympics, and the
American Heart Association. However, it is impossible for any of these
commitments to compete with his devotion to his wife of 20 years,
Dianne, and his son John Paul, who have supported him in his dedication
to serving the people of Kansas and the Sixth District community.
