In 2016, the voters of the 111th District elected Eber Phelps to return to the Kansas Legislature as their representative. The election of Eber was tremendously important for this district’s residents and all Kansans.

In the 2017 legislative session, Eber led other Democrats and moderate, responsible Republicans in the successful fight to end Sam Brownback’s failed tax experiment. This bipartisan action by the Legislature began to restore the state’s ability to meet its financial obligations including adequately funding education and investing in highways.

Informed legislators, like Eber, who put the people of Kansas first and reject extreme political ideology remain critically important to the state. He will again fight to fully fund education and focus on making health care available and affordable. By returning Eber to the Kansas House of Representatives, residents of the 111th District and all Kansans will benefit from good policy not bad politics.

We fully support the re-election of Eber Phelps this year just as we supported his election in 2016. He will continue to serve with wisdom and honor.

Gary Sherrer, former Republican Lieutenant Governor
John Moore, former Democratic Lieutenant Governor
