Governor Kelly Kicks Off Statewide 'Prosperity on the Plains' Economy Tour

"Over the next few weeks, I’m going to be making a concerted effort – even more than usual – to visit businesses in every corner of the state to hear about what more my Administration can do to help them grow and expand. I want to use the momentum created by our recent economic successes to continue aggressively pursuing job creation and business investment – so we can keep bringing prosperity to Kansas.”  

Governor Kelly Announces 21,000 More Kansas Homes Will Soon Be Connected to High-Speed Internet

“Local governments are on the frontlines providing the quality infrastructure that we all rely on to meet our most basic needs and generate long-term prosperity. I’m grateful we could bring together infrastructure leaders from across the state to strategize how we can strengthen Kansas for years to come.” 

Governor Kelly Announces Creation of Wildfire Task Force

“Far too many times in recent years, we’ve seen the devastating toll wildfires take on our communities. We’re doing everything we can to better respond to these disasters, and I am confident the Wildfire Task Force will improve how we support our communities before, during, and after wildfires. I look forward to receiving its recommendations.”

Highlights Child Nutrition While Distributing Food to Kansas Students

“Summer meal programs help ensure our kids don’t go hungry and support their ability to succeed in and out of the classroom. That’s why I’ve long supported these programs and recently called on Congress to extend waivers that feed more Kansas kids.”
