We can't afford to wait to tackle Kansas' water challenges. That's why I signed a bipartisan bill creating a Water Program Task Force to ensure we address Kansas' water needs with the urgency they demand.

Today marks a bright new era in Kansas. @Panasonic's historic EV battery plant in De Soto—the largest private investment in our state's history—is officially open for business. This $4B investment is just the start of what we'll accomplish together.

Kansas parents shouldn't have to choose between going to work and finding affordable child care. That's why we're supporting providers and expanding capacity faster than ever. We're on track to add more child care slots in the next two years than we have in the last 15.

Putting food on the table shouldn't come with a penalty. That's why we axed Kansas' state food sales tax to zero, saving the average family $500 or more this year. We're keeping more money in your pocket at checkout.

The Kansas Department of Revenue's Division of Vehicles will never ask for payment information over text message. If you get a suspicious message about unpaid fines, it's a scam. Kansans—protect yourself and your personal data.

I've worked to get Kansas back on the right fiscal track, but the Legislature's blanket budget reduction results in millions less for vital programs that are lifelines for children, Kansans with disabilities, & seniors. This is not targeted or thoughtful.
