Eber Phelps has demonstrated that he is a strong supporter of all levels of education in Ellis County and all of western Kansas. During his two-year term in the Legislature, he was instrumental in solving the inherited fiscal problems that existed at the beginning of his term. Eber helped put the state on a fiscally sound budget and has left the state with a bright future.

Now that the state is in recovery, it is not the time to replace Eber Phelps, an experienced legislator with a demonstrated willingness to cooperate with moderates of both parties in Topeka. A vote for Eber Phelps is a vote for good education and sound economic policy. I urge you to vote for Eber Phelps.
