Brownback Picks Jacob Laturner As New State Treasurer Body
Page 1 of 2 Brownback picks Jacob LaTurner as new state treasurer Brownback picks Jacob LaTurner as new state treasurer The Wichita Eagle (Kansas) April 18, 2017 Tuesday Copyright 2017 The Wichita Eagle All Rights Reserved Section: politics_government Length: 580 words Byline: Jonathan Shorman The Wichita Eagle Dateline: TOPEKA Body Sen. Jacob LaTurner of Pittsburg will be the new state treasurer, replacing Ron Estes, who won the 4th District congressional special election last week. In picking LaTurner, Gov. Sam Brownback chose someone who has been a reliably conservative vote in the Legislature. This session, LaTurner has sided with the governor on taxes and Medicaid. LaTurner's departure could alter the dynamics of the Senate, depending on who replaces him. Republican leaders in LaTurner's district will gather in the coming days to choose his successor. LaTurner will also be among the youngest statewide officials in Kansas at 29. "What I commit to Kansans is I'm going to surround myself with wonderful people and work very hard and Kansans are going to be able to receive quality services," LaTurner said. LaTurner called the position "humbling and exciting." He said he plans to run for a full term in 2018. The state treasurer manages a college savings program, runs an effort to return unclaimed property and provides general administrative oversight of state finances. The position typically attracts little controversy. While the state treasurer is elected, the governor has the power to appoint a new treasurer if the position is vacated. "I know Jake to be a fine man, a skilled public servant and a fiercely loyal Kansan," Brownback said. -

320 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE Journal of the House THIRTY-SIXTH DAY HALL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, TOPEKA, KS, Friday, March 8, 2019, 8:30 a.m. The House met pursuant to adjournment with Speaker Ryckman in the chair. The roll was called with 119 members present. Rep. Waymaster was excused on legislative business. Reps. Ballard, Concannon, Johnson and S. Ruiz were excused on excused absence by the Speaker. Prayer by Chaplain Brubaker, Lord God, Thank You for this day and this week and for Your unfailing promise to be our guiding light. I am reminded how negativity breeds negativity and how positivity breeds victory and success. As our leaders continue their work, remind them often that we empower and enlarge that upon which we focus and give time to. If we focus on the good, good will prevail. If we focus on the negative, negativity will prevail. It all comes down to each of us choosing that of which we want more. Every choice we make will have an end result and the power of that choice is within us. Lord, help all of us to choose wisely. In Your Name I pray, Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Rep. Moore. REFERENCE OF BILLS AND CONCURRENT RESOLUTIONS The following bill was referred to committees as indicated: Appropriations: HB 2391.
