Governor Laura Kelly Announces Kansas Moves to Phase 2 of COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution
FAQs ABOUT COVID-19 AND THE VACCINE
“After moving quickly to vaccinate close to 130,000 frontline health care workers and Kansas seniors, my administration has worked with local health departments and providers to prepare to move Kansas into Phase 2. While it’s important to remember that the rate of vaccinations will be dependent on the amount we receive from the federal government, we use every tool available to make vaccine delivery transparent, efficient, and fast in order to reach as many Kansans as possible.”

Governor Laura Kelly’s Statement on Kansas Senate’s Decision to Again Reject the Appointment of Carl Folsom to the Court of Appeals
READ THE PRESS RELEASE
“I am incredibly disappointed that certain members of the Kansas Senate have again decided to deny Carl Folsom, who is eminently qualified, his chance to serve the people of Kansas on our state’s Court of Appeals. Carl’s appointment was universally supported by Kansas’ legal community including President Trump-appointed United States Attorney Stephen McAllister and former Republican Vice President of the Kansas Senate Jeff King. After the division and tragedy our country has faced over the last ten months, this vote sends the wrong message that legislative leaders are still putting partisan politics ahead of their constitutionally-mandated duties. Kansans deserve better.”
