“She will line-item veto some things and hopefully save us more money,” Hawkins said. “Probably one of my biggest disappointments is how hard it is to get our folks to understand that your expenses need to equal your revenue. It’s really tough. It’s a steady flow of people wanting money, and it’s hard to say no.” #ksleg https://t.co/7JDQfNAXBA

That makes ten women Dem Govs. Historic!
.@GovLauraKelly of Kansas, a Democrat, says Tim Walz "is the epitome of the Midwestern dad" and "understands rural America."
"You could put him at any state fair on any Main Street, and certainly in a Friday night football game in rural Kansas, and he would fit right in."
As a teacher, veteran, and leader, Gov. @Tim_Walz brings a dedication to public service and a record of winning tough races and improving lives that makes him exceptionally prepared to help Vice President Harris win and deliver for the American people.
Gov. Walz has fought to do right by our country by protecting reproductive freedom, expanding voting rights, ensuring universal free school meals, growing the economy for working families, and much more.
Congratulations to our @DemGovs Chair – and my friend – Gov. @Tim_Walz on his selection and this great honor.
Two years ago today, Kansans resoundingly rejected attempts to interfere in women's private medical decisions. Kansas led the way in safeguarding the fundamental freedom to health care, and you have my word that I'll continue to defend the will of Kansas voters.
From her time as a prosecutor getting violent criminals off the streets to serving as a U.S. Senator fighting to protect reproductive freedom to traveling across the country delivering for the American people as Vice President, Kamala Harris has always done what's best for American families.
At a time when our country is desperate to restore reproductive rights, strengthen the middle class, safeguard democracy, and bring people together, we need her leadership now more than ever. I'm proud to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris as our country's next President of the United States.
For more than five decades, President Biden has made it his life’s work to better our country for hardworking Americans. Above all, he has been firm in his desire to safeguard democracy in a time of hyper-polarization and divisiveness. I thank him for his service and steadfast leadership.
Today, a day that should have been a celebration of the Chiefs' remarkable skill and success, has turned into a day of mourning. This senseless act of violence goes against everything Kansas City and the Chiefs Kingdom stand for.
The Cutting Healthcare Costs for All Kansans Act is about boosting our economy, keeping our workforce healthy, and making healthcare more affordable. Use the link to let your #ksleg-islator know it's time to expand Medicaid in Kansas. https://t.co/FFprLwWrdh
Congratulations to the @chiefs on yet another AFC Championship! The game was a fantastic display of skill and teamwork. Congratulations on a great season, @ravens. @GovWesMoore, I can't wait to try those crab pies. Next up, Super Bowl!
I just vetoed the flat tax experiment. I support responsible tax cuts, but I refuse to sign a reckless plan that would put our schools, roads, and economy at risk while doing next to nothing for the middle class.
Gov. Laura Kelly vetoed the GOP tax plan this afternoon.
She's vowing to call a special session if Kansas lawmakers do not pass a plan she finds acceptable by the time they adjourn for the year. #ksleg

Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly delivered her promised veto of the Republican tax cut package at the first opportunity, as the Legislature didn't send her the bill until today. #ksleg

While national politics is dominated by whoever speaks loudest on cable news, in Kansas, we're focused on what matters: defending public schools, expanding health care, & supporting middle-class families. Read my thoughts on rebuilding trust in government: https://t.co/x9t0vn8DFq
Yesterday morning I joined @KCURUpToDate. I appreciate the opportunity to discuss expanding Medicaid, our historic economic development successes, and our efforts to make Kansas the best state in the nation to raise a family.

Today we welcomed the one and only @DollyParton to Kansas! I’m honored that Dolly came to help celebrate this exciting milestone — now, children ages 0-5 in every corner of the state can participate in her Imagination Library.📚
When I took office, the State of Kansas had failed to fully fund our public schools for nearly a decade. Today, for the fifth year in a row, I signed legislation fully funding our schools.
