Governor Kelly Joins Panasonic Energy to Break Ground on $4B, 4,000-Job Electric Vehicle Battery Plant

“I am thrilled to be with Panasonic today to break ground on a project that will transform our state’s economy. This facility doesn’t just represent 8,000 high-paying jobs for Kansans – it also represents my administration’s success in creating a pro-business climate that attracts young talent, supports innovation, and drives a more prosperous future. I’m glad we were able to successfully work with leaders of both parties to bring Panasonic home to Kansas.” 

Governor Kelly Announces Expansion of Salina Pizza Manufacturer

“Schwan’s continued growth shows that our work to make Kansas the most pro-business state in the country is paying off. With 225 more jobs and $600 million injected into the Salina economy, Schwan’s will continue to be a crucial part of our state’s economic renaissance.” 

Governor Kelly Seeks Public Input on Wildfire Prevention and Response

“Wildfires take a devastating toll on Kansas families and businesses, which is why we want to hear directly from the people most impacted by these disasters. If you have thoughts on how our state can prevent or better prepare for future disasters, please let the Wildfire Task Force know. Together, we will continue working to protect our first responders, our farmers and ranchers, and our communities.”

Governor Kelly Promotes Workforce Participation for Kansas Military Families

“As the daughter of a Purple Heart recipient, I know military personnel and their spouses are exactly the type of people we need in Kansas to fill the jobs we’ve created in recent years. My administration will always prioritize fostering a thriving workforce for Kansans and will continue knocking down the barriers military families face to getting and keeping a job.”
