Our Legislators Make A Difference

"Small but mighty" might be the best description of our legislative delegation from southwest Kansas. We don't have many legislators, but the few we have hold key positions, and their experience and knowledge of the issues and the legislative process are powerful. Our legislators want to hear from you throughout the session. The more input they have from their constituents the better decisions they can make in our behalf. Here are some of their official titles and their e-mail addresses.
