  • 2020 Trust Women Kansas Primary Election Voter Guide

    2020 Trust Women Kansas Primary Election Voter Guide

    2020 Trust Women Kansas Primary Election Voter Guide Trust Women is a 501(c)3 organization and neither endorses nor opposes any candidate. In July we mailed a candidate questionnaire to each candidate running for office in the upcoming state and federal primary election, regardless of affiliation with any party or organization. The answers provided do not denote any affiliation or endorsement by Trust Women, nor does a candidate’s choice to participate in our questionnaire signify affiliation or endorsement. The endorsements we have included along with our questionnaire responses are those given by the anti-choice organization Kansans for Life and the pro-choice organization Planned Parenthood. Yes and No answers and any additional comments about the questions we asked candidates are included in this document. The voting record on issues of reproductive rights of each candidate already serving in public office is listed in this document as well. The voter guide itself is listed according to elected office and then numerically by district for each position. So, if you were looking for Kansas State Senator candidates in district 16, you would first look for the Kansas Senate section and follow down numerical order until you find district 16. Voter Guide Key Y: Yes N: No U: Undecided VRP: Voting record pro-choice VRA: Voting record anti-choice We hope you find the information below helpful. Kansas Candidate Survey These are the questions asked of the candidates running for office in Kansas. Each candidate had the opportunity to answer each question with a yes or no and provide further comment to explain their stance for each question.

    April 14, 2020 the Honorable Governor Laura Kelly Kansas State

    April 14, 2020 The Honorable Governor Laura Kelly Kansas State Capitol Topeka, Kansas Dear Governor Kelly: Today we write to you, not just as members of the Kansas House of Representatives, but also as Kansans. We see and hear daily the concerns and fears shared by our fellow citizens about what tomorrow will bring. That uncertainty is shared by everyone – from the suburbs of Kansas City to the small towns of the Western plains, young and old, rich and poor. The past few weeks have been unlike anything our state and nation has ever experienced and hopefully ever will again. The battle in which we find ourselves engaged against the dangerous virus, COVID-19, is an unseen enemy. The damage it causes is visible everywhere and experienced by everyone. We near the deadline for your first stay-at-home order to expire. Kansans deserve to have confidence that your office has a plan to return us to some semblance of normalcy as soon as possible. This needs to be based on sound science and constitutional principles. It is your responsibility as governor to work with leaders to determine concrete, objective, measurable standards and metrics to return our lives and livelihoods back to normal as soon as possible. You very clearly stated that you were not “ready” for this crisis. However, there is no excuse for us to not be prepared to rebuild and reopen our economy after the damage caused by COVID-19. After you issued multiple Executive Orders, and you sought legal relief to ensure you have the unrestricted ability to continue doing so, we ask: what is your plan to get our economy moving? To put citizens back to work? To fix the backlog of unemployment claims filed? How do you plan to put our lives back to normal and do so while still keeping us safe and healthy? What objective, scientific metrics have you determined must be met in order for us to begin the process to re-open? Our local, state and federal governments took action, as they should have, to fight this dangerous virus.

    Journal of the House

    606 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE Journal of the House FIFTY-FIFTH DAY HALL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, TOPEKA, KS, Wednesday, April 5, 2017, 10:00 a.m. The House met pursuant to adjournment with Speaker Ryckman in the chair. The roll was called with 125 members present. Prayer by Chaplain Brubaker: Creator God, We have noticed in the last few weeks how Spring has struggled to establish itself, warm and sunny one week, the last few days gloomy with dark skies and rain. Perhaps the same could be said about inside the chamber… one day decisions have been made that brighten their hopes, the next day, decisions made that cause some to feel as gray and gloomy as the sky. Today, Lord, I ask for discernment and clarity as they judge anew their adherence to principle, conviction, and commitment. Give them the ability to listen to one another and work cooperatively to solve the important issue of the day. Heal that which is broken— restore relationships that are separated by party lines— surprise the cynical—humble the exalted— and awaken the exhausted. In Your Name I pray, Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Rep. Sloan. INTRODUCTION OF GUESTS There being no objection, the following remarks of Rep. Claeys are spread upon the Journal: It is an honor to stand here today with the principal, coaches and students from my alma mater, Sacred Heart High School in Salina. With me at the well this morning are the members of the Knights Boys Basketball team. APRIL 5, 2017 607 Head Coach, Pat Martin; Assistant, Ashton Richards; Seniors, Quinn Riordan, Stratton Brown, Jake Brull and Zach Gaskill and starters, Trace Leners and Caleb Jordan.

    A Letter of Support to Kansas Law Enforcement from Members of The

    August 10, 2020 To our finest: Kansas State Troopers Kansas Capitol Police Kansas Sheriffs & Deputies Kansas Police Officers Each of you has accepted the call to serve in one of the most honorable professions in our state. As a Kansas Law Enforcement officer, you have chosen to put others above yourself. You have chosen to put your community above your own safety. You have chosen to enter when others are exiting. You have chosen to stand when others run. You have chosen to be the gate keeper of law and order! Over the past few months and years, there has grown an unhealthy disregard for our law enforcement professionals in various areas of the country. We have witnessed shocking displays of disrespect by citizens, city leaders and even elected officials on state and national levels. While there are certainly “bad actors” in every profession, we must focus on their removal while protecting the integrity of the institution of law and order. We must remain united as Kansans in making our state a safe and prosperous place for future generations. We, the undersigned members of the Kansas Legislature, want you to know that we support you. We appreciate you. We recognize the sacrifice you make for each of us. We pledge to support you as you have pledged to protect us and uphold the Constitution of the United States and the great State of Kansas. Signed: Rep. Stephen Owens Speaker Ron Ryckman Jr. Senator Richard Wilborn Rep. Nick Hoheisel Maj. Leader Dan Hawkins Senator Richard Hilderbrand Rep. David French Speaker Pro-Tem Blaine Finch Senator John Skubal Rep.
