Thanks to Governor Kelly’s leadership spearheading this issue, the state sales tax on food is officially eliminated today! Happy New Year! #ksleg

We haven’t even gaveled in for the 2025 legislative session, and already leadership is making the legislative process less transparent and more confusing for the public. I hope the Speaker will reconsider his decision to deny Kansans the transparency they deserve. #ksleg

Today, we celebrate the legacy of Dr. King . While doing so, we cannot ignore the sad irony that a man will take office that is the antithesis of everything that Dr. King stood for. We must continue to fight for the moral arc of the universe, so that it bends towards justice.

From the White House to the Statehouse, there are attacks on faith leaders everywhere willing to speak up for the stranger, the poor, and the marginalized. #ksleg kansascity.com/opinion/articl…

“‘I’m disappointed at the climate and the rhetoric right now,’ said Kansas state Rep. Tobias Schlingensiepen, a Topeka Democrat and United Church of Christ minister. ‘It promotes people with short fuses doing things they shouldn’t do.’” #ksleg apnews.com/article/immigr…

As at every other inflection point in American history, we once again face a stubborn and seemingly immovable opposition to justice and equality. If leaders like Dr. King and Bishop Budde can put their own safety and comfort at risk, so can we. #ksleg cjonline.com/story/opinion/…

SB 63 mean-spirited bill that exemplifies government overreach at its worst. I’m proud to stand with Governor Kelly against this attack on trans children. #ksleg

The #ksleg once again puts our most vulnerable children in the crosshairs of their partisan culture wars with the veto override of SB 63. It's trans youth today, it'll be other groups tomorrow. This legislature consistently votes to harms its own citizens. When is enough enough?

Make no mistake about it: HB 2062 is an attempt to codify fetal personhood, which not only jeopardizes abortion rights but also assisted reproductive technologies like IVF. Despite Kansans making their views clear on this issues, the GOP continues to undermine freedom. #ksleg

The next time right-wing extremists who want to tear the U.S. Constitution to shreds want to pressure me into voting a certain way by contacting my constituents, perhaps they should take the time to learn how to spell my name correctly! 🇺🇸 #ksleg

The #ksleg override of Governor Kelly’s veto on the flat tax will bankrupt our state, force deep cuts, and further shift the tax burden to the middle class. A reckless decision has been made by Republican leadership that will cost our state dearly in the coming years.

As measles spreads around the country - at least 32 cases in KS - what did the #ksleg do about it last week? Override Governor Kelly's veto on SB 29, which restricts health departments' ability to combat diseases like measles. Another sad example of politics over Kansans!

Governor Kelly has always been a champion for public education. I’m thankful she continues to stand up to those who seek to defund and destroy it. #ksleg kansasreflector.com/briefs/gov-lau…

The numbers don't lie, folks. GOP leadership has put our state in an estimated $731 million mess. Governor Kelly is right - we're headed right back to Brownback. #ksleg cjonline.com/story/news/pol…

I can think of no better way to honor those who gave their lives for our country than to stand up for the ideals and freedoms they fought for. May we remember their sacrifice - and our sacred duty to them - this Memorial Day.

Today, I am mindful of what true patriotism as I visit the Bennington Battle Monument commemorating the Revolutionary War and Robert Frost’s grave in Vermont. A patriot always travels the road less taken. May we do so for our democracy we love in these challenging times.

Senate Republicans are planning to cut Medicaid expansion funding with a last-minute amendment to the “Big Beautiful Bill.” Kansas is one of the last states that hasn’t adopted it. This would make our work to expand Medicaid even harder in Kansas. #ksleg semafor.com/article/06/29/…
