It<U+2019>s disappointing that analogies to the Holocaust are being perpetuated. Let me be clear: the issues being debated today are important to KS, but they are in no way comparable to what millions of Jews endured who were ripped from their families, & marked for death by the Nazis. https://t.co/iXQTZ5g8mM
This is not democracy. This is not how we transition power. Threats, violence and destruction have no place in America. #ksleg
So proud of my dad, Senator Ron Ryckman, Sr., on his swearing in today in the Kansas Senate. Glad to have you back in the legislature dad. #ksleg https://t.co/RBmWJXVeav
The Governors public response to my personal experience with COVID is fear mongering and public shaming. I informed everyone I came into contact with & took precautions far beyond CDC & KDHE guidelines. Today, I opted to share my story more broadly. Here are the facts. #ksleg https://t.co/jDCN2nuutN
So proud of you, son! We can't wait to cheer you on in this next chapter. https://t.co/42PsQoz0ak
Orlando Brown to the Chiefs! If she tries to veto that I'm coming unglued. #ksleg
Today, I had the privilege of visiting with health care professionals at @AdventHealthKC. The data is clear. Right now at Advent, 95% of the Kansans hospitalized for COVID are unvaccinated. #ksleg https://t.co/LeGNSUtLeE
The Kansas House is focused on ensuring stability for schools, courts and core services. Read the full joint statement from myself, @DanHawkinsKS and @Finch4House: #ksleg https://t.co/w3MWuuOjm6
Kansans need as much information as possible when making the decision on whether to get the COVID vaccine. The data shows the vast majority of patients hospitalized with COVID are unvaccinated. We’ll continue to provide additional data as it becomes available. https://t.co/adaN9REBrF
