Senator Jerry Moran

Official account of U.S. Senator Jerry Moran. Honored to represent Kansans in the U.S. Senate.

[Senator Jerry Moran @JerryMoran]

I have long supported voter ID requirements for federal elections, which is why I cosponsored the SAVE Act to make certain only U.S. citizens are voting in federal elections.

[Senator Jerry Moran @JerryMoran]

There is no group I hold in higher regard than our nation’s veterans. On Veterans Day and every day, we honor their service and sacrifice for our freedoms.

To the more than 150,000 veterans in Kansas and the millions more across the country who have worn the uniform, we respect you, we thank you and we love you.

[Senator Jerry Moran @JerryMoran]

As we near the two-year anniversary of the deadly DCA crash, I spoke on the Senate floor urging Congress to pass aviation safety legislation to address the series of failures that led to the accident.

There is bipartisan support for improving safety.

The time for delay is over.

[Senator Jerry Moran @JerryMoran]

Happy Birthday to the @USMC! We honor the brave men and women who have served and sacrificed for our nation’s freedom as Marines for 251 years. Thank you for your continued service and dedication to our country. Semper-Fi!

[Senator Jerry Moran @JerryMoran]

Congratulations to Jeff Colyer on his nomination to serve as U.S. Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates. He has a proven record of public service, principled leadership and steadfast commitment to improving the lives of Kansans and the American people. I am confident he will represent our country well on the world stage. I look forward to supporting his nomination before the United States Senate.

GOOD NEWS for Kansas: Kansas rural health care providers will receive $225 million in federal resources through the second year of the Rural Health Transformation Program. I worked with my colleagues to establish this federal program, and Kansas will again receive the sixth-highest award in the nation.

These resources will help address the unique needs of our rural communities, and I look forward to working with Kansas health care providers to strengthen access to quality, affordable care for rural patients.

Great to visit Southwestern College in Winfield on Friday. I enjoyed touring the campus and meeting with faculty, staff and students to learn more about the educational opportunities Southwestern offers, including its new Physician Associate degree program. I appreciate Southwestern College’s commitment to providing Kansas students with opportunitiesto pursue higher education and career training right here at home.

Thank you for having me.

[Senator Jerry Moran @JerryMoran]

We are fast approaching the 2nd anniversary of the deadly aviation crash at DCA. Productive negotiations have taken place between the House & Senate. Congress should finish its work & pass an aviation safety bill.

The election is over. The work of protecting the flying public is not.

Thank you, @JerryMoran , for keeping the urgency of aviation safety, and the people we lost, in front of Congress.

In the @KansasCityStar , he remembers Grace Maxwell, her future, and the empty seat her family will face this Thanksgiving. Our families know that empty seat. We live with it every day.

More than 600 days after 67 people were killed, we are still asking Congress to finish the legislation meant to prevent another collision.

There is bipartisan support. There is technology that can help prevent this. There are families who have spent nearly two years doing everything we can to make Congress act.

Congress: work together and pass the strongest possible aviation safety bill this year—with mandatory, integrated ADS-B In technology and real accountability.

Every person boarding a plane deserves your urgency. Every family waiting for them deserves it, too.

It was great to host @USDASDuffey in Wichita today to showcase Kansas’ capabilities in advanced defense engineering and manufacturing at the @WichitaState National Institute for Aviation Research. The critical work happening at NIAR is helping extend the capabilities of aging military aircraft like the B-1 bomber. Keeping our capabilities operational and mission-ready helps bolster America’s military preparedness and supports the men and women of our armed forces. As a senior defense appropriator, I remain committed to strengthening our national security, supporting NIAR's efforts and working with Under Secretary Duffey and the leadership at @DeptofWar to equip our military with the tools to protect our nation.

Thank you to Under Secretary Duffey for accepting my invitation to visit Kansas and for his commitment to strengthening our national security.

[Senator Jerry Moran @JerryMoran]

It was great to welcome the new Commanding General of the 1st Infantry Division at @FortRiley, Brigadier General Kevin Williams, to Kansas during the Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce’s military relations luncheon. Kansans understand the importance of supporting our military, and the partnership with the community is a source of strength for Fort Riley, our soldiers and their families. As a senior defense appropriator, I look forward to working closely with Brigadier General Williams to make certain the “Big Red One” has the resources needed to fulfill its mission and support the families of our soldiers.

Thank you to the Manhattan Chamber for hosting this event. Special thank you as well to Brigadier General Williams and his family for their willingness to serve Kansas and our nation through this role.

[Senator Jerry Moran @JerryMoran]

I always go home on election day to remind myself where I come from.

Wallace County was the final stop on my 2026 tour of all 105 Kansas counties, and I appreciated a warm welcome from the folks in Sharon Springs. While in western Kansas, I also met with residents in Syracuse, Tribune and Johnson City. From the Farmers Union Agency in Hamilton County to the Wholly Cow Café in Stanton County to the hospital in Greeley County, these conversations with Kansans – hearing their ideas, challenges, successes and concerns – help inform my work in Washington.

I am grateful for the hospitality extended to me by small businesses, rural hospitals and health centers, civic organizations, veterans’ groups, schools and farms all across Kansas’ 105 counties. I always came away from our discussions with a better understanding of the needs of our state.

[Acting Secretary of the Army @SecArmy]

Honored to visit @FightingFirst, the “Big Red One” in Fort Riley, KS. I was joined by Senator Roger Marshall, Senator @JerryMoran, and @RepDerekSchmidt to see the work underway to enhance mobilization capability and support Irwin Army Hospital for our Soldiers, veterans, and their families.

From barracks and housing to on-post health care, under @SecWar’s direction, we are modernizing readiness and quality of life. We ask so much of our Soldiers and their families, and we owe them that same commitment every day.

[Senator Jerry Moran @JerryMoran]

October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month, a time to celebrate the extraordinary individuals with Down syndrome and the special joy and blessings they bring to our communities.

As the co-chair of the Congressional Task Force on Down Syndrome, I remain committed to advancing research, strengthening advocacy and improving the quality of life for people with Down syndrome.

When disaster strikes, Kansas first responders answer the call, protecting our communities and helping neighbors in times of need. Thank you for your courage, dedication and unwavering service to our state. #FirstRespondersDay

Since my BOTS Act became law, the @FTC has opened several federal cases to prosecute scammers using bots to scalp tickets, but there is still more to do. As tactics become more sophisticated, I will continue working to combat these scams & protect consumers. https://t.co/QEVSRYdzZZ
