Commissioner Sarah Lopez

Sarah was born and raised in Wichita, Kansas and raised in a union machinist household. She attended area public schools and graduated from Wichita Technical Institute’s Program for Information Technology and Network Administration. Sarah is serving her first term as County Commissioner for Sedgwick County’s Second District, which includes parts of Wichita, Haysville, and Clearwater.


Prior to her service as Commissioner, Sarah spent 15 years working for Ascension Via Christi. She first provided clinical care and then worked the next 10 years in IT / Business Management. Sarah was promoted multiple times throughout her career with Ascension Technologies because of her strong work ethic and ability to be solution oriented as part of a team. She has enjoyed bringing her healthcare background to the Board of Health as well as her technical experience to the County Commission. Her passion to serve on the Sedgwick County Commission is to support the people of District 2 by working tirelessly on critical issues of criminal justice reform, mental health, and workforce development.  


Sarah currently serves on multiple boards in the community. She is fervently committed to the health, safety, and prosperity of our hard working individuals and families in Sedgwick County. 


She is married to Brent Lewis, has 5 children of various ages and a Haysville Public School family.
