Happy National Farmers Day! Today, we thank Kansas farmers and ranchers for their hard work, dedication, and commitment to feeding our families and strengthening our communities. I’m proud to be your voice in Congress and will keep fighting for your values. https://t.co/aATQI24e7Q
Appreciated visiting Hillsboro Community Hospital and learning more about local happenings, including the funds it will receive from the Rural Health Transformation Program we created last year. Thank you for the information! https://t.co/DIduU0GymU
Visited Supply Energetics, a veteran-owned startup with big talent and big plans to support America's national defense. Their banner says it all! Thank you for showing me your operation. https://t.co/MITQ1Bq0VY
Visited University of Kansas Health System's Strawberry Hill campus. Strong work in behavioral health. Thank you for taking time to show me some of the good work happening in our 2nd congressional district! https://t.co/IZth0g7WSY
Good to be home last night for the Montgomery County Farm Bureau annual meeting. Congratulations to Doug and Meggin Blex on receiving Sesquicentennial Farm recognition--keeping a farm in the family for more than 150 years is quite an accomplishment! https://t.co/iffZRHWme3
Great start to the morning visiting with folks at the Iola Chamber of Commerce coffee at Allen Community College. Thanks for all the good conversations! https://t.co/ywf3a21t6a
Congratulations to Kansas City Kansas Community College on getting its new downtown campus up and running! It was an honor to join community members and leaders for the ribbon cutting. This new space will expand education and healthcare opportunities for people in the community and can also spark downtown redevelopment. Well done!
I'm proud of all who worked to get Kansas into the final four sites in competition for the next basing of new KC-46 tankers. We've fought hard to get to this point, and we'll keep fighting for Kansas as the site selection process continues. https://t.co/5HCgCBB5SH
My bill, the Criminal History Access Act, passed the Senate! The bill will strengthen background checks for law enforcement officers by ensuring the people who certify officers have access to the criminal history information they need. Our bipartisan bill, which I introduced with @RepDeborahRoss of North Carolina, closes a loophole and will help make sure people with disqualifying criminal histories don’t slip through the cracks. I’m proud we got this commonsense bill across the finish line in Congress. Now it’s headed to President Trump’s desk.
Congratulations to Geiger Ready Mix on cutting the ribbon on its new plant in DeSoto. A great Kansas family company with deep roots in Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties. Geiger's growth is the kind of economic success America needs. Thank you for inviting me to join in the celebration!
