For KANSAS HOUSE
District 51
Putting my experience to work for you!
Experience gained from many years of hard work and public service!
In 2022, the Kansas legislature published newly redrawn district maps. The boundaries of House District 51 were redrawn to include Wabaunsee Co., the southern part of Pottawatomie Co., and a few narrow intrusions into Riley Co.
As Commissioner and Mayor I represented the community on many boards, committees, and organizations – both city and county. I have gained an in–depth understanding of the unique attributes and challenges of the area. This experience has prepared me well to move to the larger scope of issues of all three counties.
I believe that I am now an even stronger candidate to represent House District 51.
