Survivors of domestic violence & sexual assault must have access to resources so they can heal and seek justice. That's why I announced more than $2.3M in grants for organizations that assist local programs in delivering these critical services to Kansans. wibw.com/2025/05/23/mor…

Since I took office in 2019, we've added over 7,700 new child care slots — the most in Kansas history — and passed $18M in expanded tax credits for hardworking parents to offset the cost of child care. We're making Kansas the best place to raise a family.

I joined KU Medical Center and The University of Kansas Health System yesterday to break ground on its new world-class cancer center. The cutting-edge research conducted at KU has already saved so many lives. This new building means researchers and clinicians will be able to do more — and they’ll do it faster.

Investments like Merck Animal Health's $895M expansion in De Soto are creating new job opportunities for Kansans and strengthening our economy. This project is a win-win for our workforce and our state. hayspost.com/posts/64a46385…

Every year since I took office in 2019, we've fully funded Kansas public schools, and the budget I signed this year invests an additional $10M in special education. Supporting our students and teachers puts us on the path to building a brighter future for Kansas.

It was an honor to join SwopeHealth last week & receive its inaugural Dr. Rengachary Award for Excellence in Healthcare. All Kansans deserve access to quality, affordable healthcare. That belief has shaped my vision to make Kansas the best place to live, work, & raise a family.

I've long said that should I have a legacy, I wanted to leave behind the most comprehensive early childhood system in the nation so Kansas children, families, and businesses can thrive. Thanks to the Office of Early Childhood, we're turning that vision into a reality.

Today, we cut the ribbon on Kansas National Guard's Joint Force Headquarters. This is more than a building — it’s an investment in Kansas readiness & response. This space brings Army & Air Guard together under one roof with the tools & technology to support a 21st-century force.

I'm joining the The Julie Mason Show on @SiriusXM today to discuss the federal budget bill and why it's essential we protect Medicaid. Cuts to Medicaid would directly harm our rural hospitals, health care providers, and Kansans seeking care. Tune in at 4:35 p.m. CT.

Last week in Grinnell, I met Morgan and Rawlins, who were volunteering in the community as it recovers from an EF-3 tornado. My administration is committed to providing resources and assisting however needed. As we always do, Kansans will band together and move forward from this.
