The Kansas Legislature will experience its largest freshman class in more than 40 years when the 2013 session opens Monday, January 14 in Topeka.
Hays resident Sue Boldra, a Republican, is the newly elected 111th District Representative, which following last year’s redistricting, is now comprised of Hays and Victoria.
Boldra is a mother and grandmother, has been a small business owner, taught government classes for more than 30 years, and is still a farm owner. She believes these life experiences match well with the Kansas House committees she’s assigned.
“Agriculture and Natural Resources, Education, Energy and Environment, and Utilities and Telecommunications. They were my top four picks of the 9 committees I was interested in,” says Boldra.
Of the 125 Kansas House members, 49 of them, including Boldra, have never served in the legislature.
