WASHINGTON, D.C. – I had the opportunity to lead another group of Kansans on a night tour of the Capitol building last week and among the group was the winner of our annual high school art competition, Ethan Beckman, and his family.
The theme for the first district this year was “I Like Ike” with participants submitting art centered around our 34th President and legendary Kansan General Dwight D. Eisenhower. Ethan is a student at Wheatland High School in Grainfield, Kansas and his submission, titled “American Hero,” shows Eisenhower as a soldier standing in front of an American flag.
Every year we hold this competition and every year I am impressed by the artistic talent of the students of Kansas.
Congratulations to Ethan! I was glad that I got to meet you and your family this week.
Dr. Roger Marshall (R-Great Bend) is the Kansas First District Congressman.
