Im grateful Speaker @ronryckman had taxpayer funded health insurance to cover COVID hospitalization. 50,000 Kansans arent so lucky having lost insurance/job w/ layoffs. I hope the Speaker is now ready to join me in supporting all Kansans who need Medicaid expansion. #ksleg

Kansas voters would choose the same! We can make Medicaid expansion a reality by electing Democrats in November. Republicans repeatedly rejected good bills. Its time for change. #ksleg https://t.co/Nk3h2Vu2zv
Expanding Medicaid not only benefits our workforce, but it gets 30,000 to 150,000 Kansans insurance coverage they can't afford to NOT have during this unique time. Help me, help Kansas. We're one vote away from this desperately needed expansion. https://t.co/tbToEc7HkF https://t.co/ha11dR4ID5

I appreciate Governor Kelly issuing this executive order. This is a needed step in improving the lives of children in our foster care system. #kansasforward https://t.co/bk79fxrb3t https://t.co/m6Ghf1aTLp
