Congresswoman Jenkins Discussing Constitutional Rights in Rural Wilson County Kansas
Growing up in rural Kansas, I've known from a young age that as Americans, we cherish our right to keep and bear arms. I am opposed to any legislation that unnecessarily infringes on this Constitutional right. That is why I am a supporter of numerous pieces of legislation that would strengthen second amendment rights in our National Parks, across state lines, and in the District of Columbia. I also work to protect the interest of Kansas’ sportsmen to ensure that their rights are not taken away by government bureaucrats.
