48th Governor of Kansas.

Topeka, KS
Joined August 2011
I thank the people of Kansas for the honor to continue serving the state we love. These first 4 years were about getting our state back on track. These next 4 years are about making sure Kansas lives up to its potential as the best place to raise a family. The future is bright.

I’ve known Ty Masterson for a long time, and he’s just another Sam Brownback — only worse. Ty will take us back to Brownback. Cindy Holscher will keep moving Kansas forward. Watch ⤵️

Ty Masterson backed the Brownback tax experiment that destroyed our economy and wrecked our schools. We can’t go back, that’s why I’m voting for Cindy Holscher. Every Kansan who remembers what we went through a decade ago should join me. amp.kansascity.com/opinion/a…

I knew when I endorsed Ethan Corson during a primary that some would wonder why. Read my piece in the Star about why I believe Ethan has the best chance of winning and then delivering on the things we hold dear. amp.kansascity.com/opinion/a…

Today, I am proud to endorse @ChrisMannKS for Kansas Attorney General. For too long, Kansas has suffered under an AG who has mismanaged the office and caused harm to families by ignoring real issues. Next year, we have a chance to right this wrong and elect Chris Mann.

Kansas needs a Governor who can keep us moving forward. That person is Ethan Corson. He is a true public servant, a middle-of-the-road leader, and a good man who wants this job for all the right reasons. I am proud to endorse @ethancorson for Governor of Kansas.

There’s nothing scarier than not voting. I went to the polls today to exercise my civic duty. Make your voices heard this election, Kansans—our state will be better because of it.

The President of the United States has threatened to imprison Governor Pritzker and other elected officials who disagree with him. This is a clear and disturbing move towards authoritarianism. We all must unite and unite soon as a country against it. wsj.com/politics/policy/trum…

This Administration’s decision to illegally release @MikieSherrill’s unredacted military records in order to attack a political opponent is deeply disturbing and dangerous.  Every veteran, every branch of our armed forces, every American, should be outraged.
This is an illegal and dangerous weaponization of the federal government. That @Jack4NJ and the Trump admin are breaking the law and exposing private records for political gain is a violation of anyone who has ever served. No veteran's record is safe. cbsnews.com/news/national-ar…

From proclamations to executive orders to bills, I've had many things come across my desk over the last seven years—but one thing is certain: I've signed them all with my left hand. Happy Left Handers Day, Kansas!

Three years ago today, Kansans made their voices heard loud and clear: private medical decisions should stay between women and their doctors. That message hasn't changed—and neither has my commitment to defending it. I'll always stand up for Kansans' fundamental freedoms.

.@demgovs represent over 54% of the U.S. population, and who your governor is matters now more than ever. I joined @PsakiBriefing this week to discuss how we're making a difference in our states by focusing on the issues that matter most to our constituents.
DGA Chair Gov. @LauraKellyKS: Democratic governors are "going to focus on the issues that matter most to the people in our states.” Period.

When I think about the type of leader Kansas will need to keep us on the path to prosperity - it's someone laser focused on the issues Kansans really care about. Someone who understands how to bring people together to get good things done for Kansas. That's exactly who Ethan Corson is.
I’m running for Governor of Kansas. I’m a dad, State Senator, and proud product of our public schools. I’m in this race to fight for strong schools, lower costs, and opportunities for the next generation — so they can build a life right here. Join me: secure.actblue.com/donate/et…

He's a passionate advocate for attracting good-paying jobs to our state, for funding our public schools and for ensuring access to affordable housing, childcare, and healthcare. Ethan also played a critical role in axing the food sales tax and lowering property taxes. He'll be a very strong candidate.

As governors, we balance our budgets every year, and we know this: you can't give tax breaks to the wealthy without taking something away from working families. Cutting health care and food assistance isn't fiscal responsibility. It's a betrayal. newsweek.com/democratic-gove…

I was proud to join Senator @amyklobuchar to stand against the extreme proposal in Congress that would slash SNAP benefits by $200B. This reckless legislation would force kids to go hungry, increase costs for all Americans, and would hurt our rural communities.
Thank you Kansas Governor Laura Kelly for speaking out about the Big Beautiful Betrayal’s impact on Kansas and how it would hurt families, farmers, and independent grocers.
