A passionate advocate, a criminal justice expert, a statesman, a proud father/grandfather, a loving husband, a good friend, and an occasional trouble-maker...always chuckling when he came up with one of his grand schemes. He will be missed. #ksleg https://t.co/HQY5eXkg1x

Thanks to the Kansas County & District Attorneys Association for presenting me with their Policymaker of the Year award this morning. @KSProsecutors #ksleg https://t.co/phM8bIK1Mz
Committee assignments have been announced. I appreciate the confidence Speaker Ryckman has in me to continue serving as the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee. I will also serve on Corrections/Juvenile Justice & the newly formed Redistricting committee. #ksleg https://t.co/Fh1wHtvu8n
It is important that we preserve Kansans access to justice and keep criminals behind bars. I appreciate the Chief Justice working with me and the House Judiciary Committee to make sure those things happen! #ksleg https://t.co/MUUZInOoGk
The roster for the 2022 House Judiciary Committee has been set. Other than the late Rep. Jennings, who we will greatly miss, the committee will be the same with the addition of @ConcannonforKS. #ksleg https://t.co/SbAbgVJR6p
While things are very fluid, the Judiciary Committee may meet later today to hear HB 2743, an act concerning courts; relating to alteration or suspension of deadlines to secure the health and safety of court users, staff and judicial officers. Please stay tuned. #ksleg
