Congratulations to Major Brett Johnson on an outstanding 26-year career with the @kshighwaypatrol. Major Johnson has served five Kansas governors with steady leadership, and I had the privilege of working alongside him for five years during his time in executive protection.

Last night, I had the privilege of experiencing the culmination of years of hard work and preparation for @FWC26KansasCity. Congratulations to the Netherlands for defeating Tunisia to finish the group stage. The energy from fans who traveled across the world was truly incredible.

Good luck to the @USMNT as they take the pitch for their final group stage match against Turkey. We’ll be cheering on the incredible Team USA athletes tonight, all the way from Kansas and in the KC Metro.

I signed over 100 bipartisan bills during the last legislative session of my administration. From expanding child care tax credits and opportunities for attorneys in rural Kansas to enhancing public safety and our foster system, we got it done for Kansans.

We’re one week away from the new @KansasOEC officially opening its doors. Early in my career, working with young children, I learned why early childhood development is so important from the beginning. Now, we’re making it easier for families, providers, and communities to thrive.

Kansas is home to 180,000 dairy cows on more than 130 dairy farms. This Dairy Month, take a moment to thank the farmers who ensure we have milk and other dairy products, all while contributing more than $1.5B to the Kansas economy.

Pollinator species, such as birds and insects, are essential partners of our farmers and ranchers in producing our food supply. Kansas Pollinator Week serves as a reminder that we must protect and promote pollinators and their ecosystems.

Actor, banker, trailblazer, and Richland, Kansas native Georgia Neese Clark Gray became the first woman U.S. Treasurer on this day 77 years ago in 1949. She defied the belief that only men could hold high-ranking positions, opening doors for generations of women.

Designating Kansas as a Purple Heart State was long overdue. I was proud to sign HB 2274, recognizing Kansans who earned the Purple Heart for being wounded in combat and honoring them each year on Purple Heart Day.
