Jane Humphrey Pearce of Wallace, a small town nine miles east of Sharon Springs in the far west county of Wallace, said Moran “saved the best for last.”

“We were pleased at the Rotary Club to host the senator and we had about 65 people that turned out and asked him questions about the national scene,” Humphrey Pearce said.

“Being someone who lives in far western Kansas, we are fully aware of how far away we are from centers of government, so it’s very impressive for him to have taken that effort…he’s a voice in Washington and he’s listening to us,” she added.

“Kansans, no matter where they live, ought to have the opportunity to be heard by those who serve them,” said Sen. Moran.

“Though much has changed since my first town hall,” Moran acknowledged, “my efforts in Washington, D.C. remain much the same today as they were when I was first elected–to make certain that we protect our Kansas way of life and create opportunities in all the communities we call home.”
