Duane Pomeroy (born 1952) is a Kansas politician and teacher who served on the Topeka city council from 1993 to 2005,[1] was deputy mayor of Topeka, Kansas under Butch Felker, and then became acting mayor from November 2003 to January 2004 after a scandal forced Felker's resignation. As a member of the council, he was barred from being selected as a replacement mayor and James McClinton was appointed to the position in December 2003 and sworn in the following month.
As a show of support for Felker, Pomeroy did not use his desk or his office during his time as acting mayor. He moved in a separate desk and moved the old desk out of the way. He also did not sit in the mayor's position during city council meetings, instead keeping his spot as the deputy mayor.
