It has been an honor to serve in the Senate for the past 10 years—14 years in the legislature total. Representing the great Kansas Senate District 26 is a privilege.

“My experience on my family farm and as a legislator has taught me the value of working hard and doing the job well because others are depending on you.”

Almost all of my grandkids together—we’ll add one more to the crew this March!

There is a power to presence and a commitment to completion that just cannot be substituted if you want to be successful. I've found this to be true in my lifetime of taking care of livestock and crops, and I've found the same to be true during my twelve years as a state legislator. I am dedicated and honored to continue to serve my constituents of the 26th district and the great people of the state of Kansas.

NOR TO MAKE A GREAT SHOW IN THE WORLD, NOR A NAME.
THERE IS BUT ONE JUST USE OF POWER, AND IT IS TO SERVE PEOPLE."
