People often ask me if I do any legislative work when we are out of session, which runs from early May to early January. Yes I do! But, I also take some time for my family, too. In this newsletter, I will highlight some of the work and some of the fun I have enjoyed over the summer.
SAVE THE DATE: Our next town hall meeting will be Saturday, September 14, 9-10 am at Leawood City Hall. Transportation Secretary Julie Lorenz will be our special guest.
School is back in session now and students are settling into their study routine. I enjoyed the hundreds of back-to-school pictures friends and constituents posted on Facebook. Here is a picture of me on my first day of kindergarten:
50 years after this picture, my kindergarten teacher saw my father’s obituary in the paper and she sent me a condolence card. She was not a family friend, but a wonderful person who cared deeply for her students and recognized a name decades later. Lift up a quick prayer to all the teachers and staff beginning the new year – and the parents celebrating the end of summer.
