A third local legislator will appear at Saturday’s Legislative Coffee presented by the Hays Area Chamber of Commerce.

HACC Executive Director Tammy Wellbrock said Tuesday morning, Rep. Ken Rahjes, R-Agra, will join Rep. Sue Boldra, R-Hays, and Sen. Ralph Ostmeyer, R-Grinnell, at the podium.

Rahjes won a special election in December to fill the remaining term of former 110th Dist. Rep. Travis Couture-Lovelady, who resigned his seat in late November to take a job with the National Rifle Association. Rahjes works in agriculture media.

The 110th District includes parts of Ellis and Graham counties, as well as Norton, Phillips and Rooks counties.

Saturday’s event will be the first of the 2016 Kansas legislative session and is sponsored by Midwest Energy and AT&T.

Although breakfast will will no longer be served, coffee will be provided. “It’s now ‘Coffee and Issues’,” Wellbrock quipped. No RSVP is necessary.

The Legislative Coffee is free to the public and starts at 8: 30 a.m. Sat., Jan 30, in the commission chambers of the Ellis County Administrative Center, 718 Main.
