Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of slaves and recognizes the ongoing struggle for freedom and equality for Black Americans. Today, I encourage Kansans to support the Black community, reflect on our history, and recommit to truly achieving liberty and justice for all.

Last week, I visited KCK to speak at the Chamber of Commerce Congressional Forum. While there, chamber delegates graciously gifted me a “Kick it in KCK” soccer jersey just in time for the World Cup. Thank you @kcchamber!

I was proud to sign SB 82—smart, commonsense legislation that strengthens child care access in Kansas. By updating the business tax credit for child care, we’re ensuring Kansas’ economy can thrive while making our state a place where families want to put down roots.
