Gov. Laura Kelly participated in a town hall early Monday evening at the Sternberg Museum, 3000 Sternberg, along with Rep. Ken Rahjes (R-110th Dist.), Sen. Rick Billinger (R-Goodland), and Rep. Barb Wasinger (R-111th Dist.)

The event was organized by the Fort Hays State University student government association and moderated by Brett Zollinger, FHSU professor and chair of the Department of Sociology.

The group spoke to attendees about a variety of topics including the Kansas retirement system known as KPERS, Kansas Department of Transportation funding, education funding, funding for the arts, Medicaid expansion and the impact of tariffs on the local agriculture economy.

Kelly, a Democrat, was also on the FHSU campus Tuesday morning at a Community Engagement session focusing on early childhood. Check Hays Post for more on the Community Engagement session.
