I believe everyone’s wishes were granted when we were treated to a very “White Christmas”.  It was a time to share with family and friends and reflect on events of the past year.  We felt very blessed to have our family together for the Holiday Season!

The upcoming session which begins on January 11th will be challenging for all of us.  Kansans have all felt the impact of the recession in one form or another.  With our budget still suffering from revenue shortfalls, we will be faced with more difficult decisions that will have long-term impacts on many, many Kansans.  Although difficult times still lie ahead, there are glimmers of positive changes.

Unemployment appears to be leveling off.  We have new businesses that are now coming to Kansas which will help our economy.  It has been slow in coming, but the housing market is slowly starting to come back.  Even with that said, we still have a long way to go; and it will take all of us working together to find solutions!

To make matters even more interesting, an election year is again upon us and redistricting is geared up to take place.  Collaboration and bipartisan legislation often do not happen during these times because of the spirited election cycle.  My hope is that we can come to the table, put politics aside, and do what is best for all Kansans during these difficult times!

I am, again, humbled to be able to serve in the Kansas House of Representatives for the 18th District.  I believe if we all work together, we will make a better and stronger Kansas.  Please do not hesitate to email me, call me, or send me a note with your concerns.  I wish each and everyone a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year!

Sincerely,
