Ellis County Kansas Democrats

Today, I joined a Hays Rotary Club meeting to discuss how my administration is focused on moving Kansas forward. We're investing in our communities — rural, suburban, and urban — to ensure a bright future for our state.

Heather understands that when parents have access to health insurance, their kids are more likely to receive care, too. Let's finally expand Medicaid to help Kansas families afford essential services like checkups.

My statement on today's #ksleg Medicaid expansion hearings.

Tomorrow, the #ksleg will hold the first public hearings on Medicaid expansion in 4 years. Kansans, make your voices heard and ask your legislator to support the Cutting Healthcare Costs for All Kansans Act. Together, we can build a healthier future for our state.

Today in Liberal, I joined Senator @JerryMoran for the 2024 Ogallala Aquifer Summit. Our water crisis affects every Kansan. Through collective, coordinated action, we're tackling the crisis head-on.

Today, I voted in the 2024 presidential primary. Although the nominees for the general election are already decided, it's crucial we do our civic duty and exercise the right to vote in each & every election. I encourage Kansans to show up to the polls and make their voices heard.

#ksleg-islators should listen to the 70% of Kansans — their constituents — who support Medicaid expansion. We must act immediately to protect our hospitals, expand affordable health care, and lower health care costs. There’s no reason to wait.

Thousands of Kansans are working but don't have employer-based health insurance. These are many of the people who would benefit from Medicaid expansion. It's time to fill this gap and support Kansas' workers and economy.

My budget includes $10 million to preserve local access to safe water and to improve water infrastructure. This funding will be essential to continue our work combatting Kansas' water shortage.
