194 Days of Silence: Why Won’t Mayor Sorenson Respond?

It has been 194 days since Sheboygan residents requested open records from Mayor Ryan Sorenson regarding any communications between him and Preston Kite, tied to a photo from a Sheboygan Pride event.

In that time, Sorenson has offered no response—not even an acknowledgment of the request.

Who Is Preston Kite?

Kite has pled guilty to serious charges, including:

  • 4 counts of possessing child pornography
  • 1 count of exposing genitals/pubic area/intimate parts to a child
  • 1 count of bestiality for engaging in sexual contact with an animal

Wisconsin Circuit Court Access
Racine County Case Number 2024CF000247
State of Wisconsin vs. Preston Kenneth Robert Kite


Kite will be sentenced at the end of February.

One court order even prohibited Kite from having contact with animals—for their safety.

Mayor Sorenson refuses to respond to multiple open records requests concerning Kite and the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence members he posed with in the photo. 

Why Is Sorenson Silent?

This 194-day silence is not just unacceptable—it’s alarming!

What is Sorenson hiding?

Why is he silent?

Every Sheboygan resident deserves an answer to these questions before deciding who to support in the upcoming Mayoral election. Open and transparent government is the foundation of democracy, and Mayor Sorenson’s silence is a blatant disregard for your rights as a taxpayer.
