Committee Issues
My membership on the Senate Agriculture Committee, the Senate Health,
Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, and the Senate Finance
Commitee, allows me to focus on important issues critical to Kansas.
Through these committees, I work to support and guide our nation’s
agricultural policy, improve education to keep us competitive in a
global economy, expand access to quality, affordable healthcare, and
support a robust national defense. More information in each of these
areas is provided in the links below.
