We met in Colby for the 1st Congressional District Republican Committee meeting on Saturday. Amanda Adkins, Chair of the Kansas Republican Party, and Ashley McMillan, Executive Director of the KS Republican Party, presented information about the campaign training seminars that they have conducted across the state. Again, these are two very impressionable young [...]

Carl rode the Trizzard, Abby and Katie carried the banner, and Pam and I walked the parade route of the “There’s No Place Like Home” themed Old Settler’s Parade in Ness City. With over 160 entries it was certainly the largest, longest parade in which I have participated. The entries were diverse, fun-loving, [...]

Max and Jacque Zimmerman of Hutchinson hosted an afternoon event for me at their home. What a wonderful afternoon of visiting and political discourse. I enjoyed the host and hostess and the wonderful guests immensely. I will be eternally grateful to this wonderful couple.
The evening was spent at a meeting of the [...]

Carl and I accompanied Mom to the annual Memorial Day Services at the Valley View Cemetery in Roxbury. The Roxbury community always does a memorable job putting on this event. Like many small towns of Kansas the population is dwindling and those who do the heavy lifting are aging. But the Memorial Day Service is [...]

On Tuesday May 25th the seven congressional candidates all met in Hutchinson for a forum at the Stringer Fine Arts Center on the campus of Hutchinson Community College. The forum went well, I thought, however, the Hutchinson press wasn’t very positive and the streamed video lost the first 6 minutes, so that the introductory statements [...]

This evening, I traveled to Stockton with Representative Dan Johnson and his lovely wife Gwen, to attend a public forum considering the proposed Rooks County Wind Project that is planning construction of 25 wind turbines on either side of the Stockton Lake.
Roger Hrabe, Rooks County economic development director, began the meeting, introduced the dignitaries in [...]

Tuesday I had the honor and opportunity to address the members, new inductees, school personnel, family and friends of the Colby High School National Honor Society.
As I traveled west on I-70, I was surprised to see traces of the snowfall that delivered between 6 and 8 inches of white, fluffy moisture the previous weekend. The [...]
