Governor Kelly Gives State of The State Address

STOS@

WATCH THE STATE OF THE STATE ADDRESS

“This year, we must show Kansans that, even when we stand on opposite sides of the aisle, we still always share a common bond as Kansans and Americans. And right now, that means doing whatever it takes to get Kansans back to work, back to school – and back to a place where we treat each other with respect and dignity. We need to listen to public health experts. We need to listen to each other. We need to listen to the people of Kansas. And then we need to lock arms, not as politicians from one party or the other, but as Kansans.”
