Parents as Teachers melted make this a great reading day for all legislators. Thanks, Governor Kelly
We know that the most important factor in a child's success in school and in life is an early introduction to books. I'm proud to work with @DollyParton and @kcctf to bring @dollyslibrary to children and families right here in Kansas.

The Kansas legislature can make this happen now, hold our feet to the fire for action!
Axing the state's food tax should be a top priority for all lawmakers. We've got a budget with the largest surplus in 40 years. So we can responsibly manage the state's pocketbook -- while also saving Kansans' money.

It will be a change to not see your face & hear that voice nightly
Killing an open secret. I am retiring from day-day reporting December 17th. I’ll continue be associated with KMBC News helping out on political coverage in 2022. My e-mail & phone remains the same. A hell of a ride and it’s not over but as Zimmy says “things have changed” @kmbc
Thanks governor we can make the best use of our education $$$ if we start early
Happy #UniversalChildrensDay, Kansas! Investing in the well-being of future generations is key to our state’s success. My administration will continue to prioritize education – especially early childhood education – to support our kids, families, and economy.

This is such and important point if we really want to protect partners and family from convicted domestic abusers
What if we didn’t rely on the honor system for convicted domestic abusers prohibited from possessing guns? HB 2251 would create a process for them to relinquish guns already in possession—it’s an enforcement mechanism for laws already on the books. #ksleg

We have the tool ,wear your mask , social distance ,and get your shots
I guess Americans were smarter in 1962.
In 1962 Dallas County #Texas vaccinated 950,000 residents against the poliovirus in two days, ensuring an immunization rate well over 90%.

Just heard this same detail at the CSG Midwest conference
President Joe Biden declared preserving voting rights is "a test of our time" Tuesday as Texas Democrats took dramatic action to stymie their state's latest effort in a nationwide Republican push to tighten ballot restrictions. t.ly/1Xkr

Great day to have Governor Kelly and Rep. Davids in JOCO to celebrate approved infrastructure coming our way thanks to local, state and federal funds
I love an opportunity to talk infrastructure in #KS03, especially when it involves @SecJulieLorenz and @GovLauraKelly!
As the US 69 expansion moves ahead, I’ll keep pushing for #INVESTAct federal funds to be added to this transformative project to create jobs & improve safety.

Now this is called “keeping a positive attitude”
Travel fun today:
Flight from DC delayed, then further delayed because we’re re-routed 🌧 and need more fuel, then we finally get to Kansas City and get to wait longer because there is a plane in the way of our gate. 😂
But, travel is happening again, and it feels amazing.

I am encouraged that a deal is at hand but sadden by the fact that our core infrastructure, early childhood education, is out. We will never match many nations if we don’t focus on access to quality early education for all.
'We have a deal': #Biden reaches infrastructure compromise with bipartisan group of senators. Poppa Joe Biden strikes deal to rebuild and modernize America in the 21st Century. #2021 #2022 usatoday.com/story/news/poli…

Happy Father’s Day Ethan
My favorite (and most important) title, much more than Senator, is Dad. Happy Father's Day to all the Dads, Stepdads, Grandfathers, Uncles, Big Brothers, and Father Figures celebrating today!
