  • 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.

    NEWSLETTERS KANSAS LEGISLATIVE INSIGHTS NEWSLETTER | JANUARY 17, 2020 2020 LEGISLATURE OPENS The 2020 Legislature had a full agenda as both chambers gaveled into session on Monday afternoon. The session opened slowly with organizational matters, the State of the State Address by Gov. Laura Kelly, and introduction of pre-filed bills and interim proposals. On Thursday, the House Appropriations Committee and Senate Ways and Means Committee had a joint meeting as the Governor’s budget was unveiled. The state’s improving financial picture will make funding new programs like Medicaid expansion an option along with the potential of some tax cuts. The Medicaid expansion compromise agreement between Gov. Kelly and Senate Majority Leader Sen. Jim Denning will improve chances for passage in the Senate despite concerns and opposition by some Republican Senators. House Republican leaders are still opposed and likely to try blocking consideration on the House floor despite support for expansion by a majority of House members. The Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee is holding hearings on SB 252 (see our reference to SB 252 and 246 below). Proponents will be heard on Jan. 23- 24, and opponents will be heard on Jan. 27-28. STATE OF THE STATE ADDRESS On Wednesday, Jan. 14, Gov. Kelly delivered her second State of the State address. Her areas of emphasis included funding education and the need to expand Medicaid. She wants Kansas to become the 37th state to do so. Among other areas highlighted were the need to address a comprehensive transportation plan, fiscal stability, modest tax cuts in specific areas, and a continued need to improve the social safety net.

With this information, these key players can understand the real gaps and inefficiencies in the market and answer the Workforce Investment & Opportunity Act’s (WIOA) call to align their programs to meet employer demand. But there’s also an opportunity to challenge demand as well. In many cases, the strategies employers use to hire workers are inefficient and even self-defeating. Workforce agencies and educators can leverage this more specific awareness of demand to flag opportunities to make the job market work better for employers and workers alike. 2:00 p.m. ITC - Who We Are, What We Do, and the Skills We Need Now and in the Future Kevin Burke, Vice President of Human Resources and Chief Human Resources Officer, ITC Holdings, Inc., will discuss how ITC fits into the electricity transmission grid, how the transmission business works, the importance of veteran placement services in their control room, and the skills and education required in the energy field now and in the future.

The roll was called with 40 senators present. Invocation by Reverend Cecil T. Washington: To God Be the Glory, In Song! Regardless of his own power and fame, King David wrote this song of praise, that God's people may well praise Him! In Psalm 8:1-2, these are the words he wrote... “I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart; I will recount all Your wonders; I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.” Heavenly Father, You inspired another song writer, Andre Crouch, to write a song of praise for today. And Lord, may the spirit of this melody bless Your heart and the heart of Your people! (The following words were sung by Reverend Washington.) How can I say thanks for the things You've done for me Things so undeserved, yet you gave to prove your love to me The voices of a million angels could not express my gratitude All that I am and ever hope to be, I owe it all to Thee To God be the glory. To God be the glory. To God be the glory For the things You have done With Your blood, you have saved me With Your power, You have raised me To God be the glory, for the things You have done Just let me live my life, and let it be pleasing, Lord to Thee And should I gain any praise, let it go to Calvary With Your blood, You have saved me With Your power, You have raised me To God be the glory, for the things You have done.

Sine die is a Latin term meaning “without day.” Often, sine die adjournment is ceremonial without all members attending. This is the final opportunity for the Legislature to override any gubernatorial vetoes from the veto session. There were no successful override efforts. Last week, Gov. Laura Kelly vetoed two bills and one line item in the budget. Senate Bill 29 would have extended short-term 12-month health insurance coverage to as much as three years. Gov. Kelly called it “junk” insurance which is often used by Kansans without health insurance coverage due to job loss. In her veto message, the governor argued that a better solution would be to expand Medicaid, saying that such expansion would save small businesses money, protect rural hospitals, and inject money into the Kansas economy. Gov. Kelly noted that 38 other states have legislated Medicaid expansion. The Senate overrode the veto 27-11 but the House did not have the necessary votes to override. Gov. Kelly also vetoed Senate Bill 273, titled The Small Business Relief Act. It was one of the COVID-related bills which would have stripped the oversight of claims from the Governor’s bipartisan task force known as “Strengthening People and Revitalizing Kansas (SPARK).” The task force is responsible for distributing about $1 billion in federal pandemic recovery funds to Kansas business and industry.
