48th Governor of Kansas.
Topeka, KS
Joined August 2011
I thank the people of Kansas for the honor to continue serving the state we love. These first 4 years were about getting our state back on track. These next 4 years are about making sure Kansas lives up to its potential as the best place to raise a family. The future is bright.

Kansas needs a Governor who can keep us moving forward. That person is Ethan Corson. He is a true public servant, a middle-of-the-road leader, and a good man who wants this job for all the right reasons. I am proud to endorse @ethancorson for Governor of Kansas.

There’s nothing scarier than not voting. I went to the polls today to exercise my civic duty. Make your voices heard this election, Kansans—our state will be better because of it.

The President of the United States has threatened to imprison Governor Pritzker and other elected officials who disagree with him. This is a clear and disturbing move towards authoritarianism. We all must unite and unite soon as a country against it.

This Administration’s decision to illegally release @MikieSherrill’s unredacted military records in order to attack a political opponent is deeply disturbing and dangerous. Every veteran, every branch of our armed forces, every American, should be outraged.
This is an illegal and dangerous weaponization of the federal government. That @Jack4NJ and the Trump admin are breaking the law and exposing private records for political gain is a violation of anyone who has ever served. No veteran's record is safe. https://t.co/vijyVyfiUA

From proclamations to executive orders to bills, I've had many things come across my desk over the last seven years—but one thing is certain: I've signed them all with my left hand. Happy Left Handers Day, Kansas!

Three years ago today, Kansans made their voices heard loud and clear: private medical decisions should stay between women and their doctors. That message hasn't changed—and neither has my commitment to defending it. I'll always stand up for Kansans' fundamental freedoms.

.@demgovs represent over 54% of the U.S. population, and who your governor is matters now more than ever. I joined @PsakiBriefing this week to discuss how we're making a difference in our states by focusing on the issues that matter most to our constituents.
DGA Chair Gov. @LauraKellyKS: Democratic governors are "going to focus on the issues that matter most to the people in our states.” Period.

He's a passionate advocate for attracting good-paying jobs to our state, for funding our public schools and for ensuring access to affordable housing, childcare, and healthcare. Ethan also played a critical role in axing the food sales tax and lowering property taxes. He'll be a

When I think about the type of leader Kansas will need to keep us on the path to prosperity - it's someone laser focused on the issues Kansans really care about. Someone who understands how to bring people together to get good things done for Kansas. That's exactly who Ethan

As governors, we balance our budgets every year, and we know this: you can't give tax breaks to the wealthy without taking something away from working families. Cutting health care and food assistance isn't fiscal responsibility. It's a betrayal.

People in every corner of America will feel the effects of President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans' disastrous budget now that it is law. You deserve to know exactly what's in it.

I was proud to join Senator @amyklobuchar to stand against the extreme proposal in Congress that would slash SNAP benefits by $200B. This reckless legislation would force kids to go hungry, increase costs for all Americans, and would hurt our rural communities.
Thank you Kansas Governor Laura Kelly for speaking out about the Big Beautiful Betrayal’s impact on Kansas and how it would hurt families, farmers, and independent grocers.

I'm sad to share that Frances, the First Cat of KS, was laid to rest today. She lived a long, adventurous life & greeted Cedar Crest visitors with pride & demand for affection. Although all good things come to an end, she no doubt left a big paw print as the First Cat of Kansas.
Hi friends and #ksleg, Frances here. Mom's pretty busy these days as the 48th Governor of Kansas. Glad she made it home on this special day. #nationalpetday

Happy Super Bowl Sunday, Kansas! There's no doubt in my mind: the @Chiefs are poised to 3-peat tonight. #ChiefsKingdom, are you ready to make history and bring home another Lombardi Trophy?

Congratulations, Senator Kassebaum! There is no one more deserving of an honor that recognizes leaders who have performed exemplary deeds of service for their country or their fellow citizens. You have been a role model for me and so many others who try to emulate your Kansas
