Ellis County Kansas Democrats

🚨🚨🚨#KSLeg HD8 Majority Leader Chris Croft in a leaked video explains why he will stop a great foster care bill! He wants to discriminate against same sex couples that apply to be host families. Those are the knife fights he leads behind the scenes to stop a good bill.

Today, I toured @HaysMedical – a vital lifeline for those in Northwest Kansas. Kansas' rural hospitals are pillars of our communities. We must expand Medicaid to help our hospitals keep their doors open in both rural and urban areas across the state.

More and more cities are lining up to support Medicaid Expansion because they recognize the benefits: lower healthcare costs, protecting our local hospitals, and healthier families and communities. hayspost.com/posts/cb563afc-…

Our Hays fellow Madison Albers spoke to the student government at Fort Hays about why it’s important to ✨VOTE✨ #ksleg #kansas #ks

KANSAS DO YOU WANNA EXPAND MEDICAID OR NOT 🗣️ #ksleg #ks #kansas

Already, too many rural hospitals have shut their doors. When that happens, the communities have been devastated. These Kansans have to drive hours now to receive basic care. There is an obvious way to stop the bleeding: Expand Medicaid. kctv5.com/2023/08/01/report-…

Connecting young people to good jobs right out of college is critical for local businesses and for keeping graduates in-state. Today I signed a bill that enables @NWKTC, @FortHaysState & @NCKTC to partner and provide more opportunities to students.

Today, the @KansasReflector reported closed-door conversations where Kansas lawmakers blatantly discuss ambitions to make the state “hostile” to anyone who doesn’t share their views. In the recorded remarks, Adam Peters, Ellis Co’s GOP chairman, outright advocates for violence.

Kansans know all too well that costly tax experiments devastate public schools. That's why today I vetoed the irresponsible flat tax package that would leave middle-class students, teachers, and families worse off.

We live in a strange world when as a state we have amassed a $3B plus surplus and we won't fully fund special education #ksleg #ksed #FullyFundSPED

Janis is right: We must stand against tax proposals that will drive our state right back into a ditch. Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle should continue discussions about how to cut taxes responsibly. salina.com/story/opinion/col…

Thank you to the 17 state senators for voting NO on this disruptive bill HB2236 — an unnecessary and disruptive policy that undermines local boards, fairness to other students, parents and educators. #ksleg #ksed kslegislature.org/li/b2023_2…
