Hello,

Maintaining Critical Safety Standards for Our Airspace 
This week, I spoke on the Senate floor to call for changes to the current draft of the FY2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which fails to uphold minimum safety standards necessary for military helicopters operating in mixed airspace. The deadly collision that occurred in our nation’s capital between American Airlines Flight 5342, from Wichita, and a U.S. Army Blackhawk on January 29th, 2025, forever changed how we think about air travel. While Congress has passed significant legislation over the last year to invest in the future safety of our airspace and introduced legislation to make our airspace safer, now is not the time to take a step back from these efforts.

I will continue to work with my colleagues to amend the FY2026 National Defense Authorization Act, or to pass legislation to make certain that NDAA language is at least, at a minimum, abiding by the safety standards that were set in place after the crash on January 29th.

Questioning U.S. Trade Representative Greer on Agricultural & Aviation Trade in Kansas
On Tuesday, I led a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice and Science hearing to review the activities and funding priorities of the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR), led by Ambassador Jamieson Greer. Trade plays an important role in the Kansas economy by opening new markets for agriculture, manufacturing and aviation products.

During the hearing, I showed Ambassador Greer a photo I took several years ago at the Kensington grain elevator of grain sorghum, piled up because there was no place to sell it. I reiterated to the ambassador that agricultural trade must not return to those times again. I also discussed the 1979 Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft, which established zero-for-zero tariffs on aviation products to certain countries. As the Air Capital of the World, Wichita and Kansas benefit when aircraft manufacturing companies can more easily sell their products around the world.

I appreciate Ambassador Greer testifying before the committee, and I look forward to continue working with him, the Trump administration and my colleagues in the Senate to support international markets for American goods.

Discussing USDA Economic Assistance Package for Farmers on RFD-TV
On Tuesday, as a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, I joined RFD-TV to discuss the recent announcement of a $12 billion economic assistance package in bridge payments from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to help offset disruptions in the market and increasing input costs. To overcome challenges in the farming economy, our ability to trade commodities on a global scale is vital. This package is a necessity that will help farmers weather the current uncertainty while the administration works to increase markets for farmers to sell their crops. I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues on the Senate Agriculture Committee and with the administration to make certain we are providing farmers and ranchers with the resources they need to continue feeding, fueling and clothing the world, and maintaining their businesses and livelihoods.

Hosting Marine Corps Reserves’ Annual Toys for Tots
This week, the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs held a special event to collect gifts for the Marine Corps Reserve’s Toys for Tots program. Last year, Toys for Tots distributed more than 30 million toys, books and games to 13 million children across the country with the help of 50,000 volunteers. Lieutenant General Leonard Anderson, Commander of the Marine Corps Reserve, joined me and other members of the committee and shared that the Veterans’ Affairs committee is the single largest donor of toys on Capitol Hill.

I want to thank the servicemembers, veterans and volunteers who work year-round to make certain that children in need have something under the tree on Christmas morning and to all of those who joined us for this event or donated toys.

You can learn more about the event by watching the video here .

Leading Hearing to Discuss Legislation with Veteran Advocates
On Wednesday, I led a Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs hearing to discuss 24 pieces of legislation aimed at improving the delivery of health care, benefits and services to veterans, survivors, caregivers and dependents through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Testifying at this hearing were representatives from the VA, Paralyzed Veterans of America, Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States and the National Veterans Legal Services Program. I introduced two of the bills we discussed – the Sharing Essential Resources for Veterans Everywhere (SERVE) Act and the Fisher House Availability Act .

The bills in this hearing represent bipartisan priorities that would help expand access to care and benefits for veterans, their families and survivors in Kansas and across the country. I am grateful to all the sponsors of these bills for their work on behalf of our veterans and to the veteran service organization partners for working with us to improve and advance them.

You can watch my questioning to VA and the veteran service organizations here and here .

Voting to Lower Health Care Costs & Increase Patient Choice
This week, I voted in favor of the Health Care Freedom for Patients Act, legislation introduced by Senators Crapo and Cassidy that focused on lowering premiums, deductibles and co-pays while providing direct payments to patients through Health Savings Accounts to give families greater control over their care. The bill also proposed new health savings accounts to provide direct relief rather than delaying action for another three years at a cost of billions to taxpayers. Unfortunately, the measure failed to pass the Senate.

Health insurance premiums and drug prices continue to increase at alarming rates while patients, physicians and hospitals suffer under the financial burdens of our current health system. While the Affordable Care Act (ACA) attempted to address many of our healthcare problems, it fell short of its goals, and many Kansas families still struggle to pay sky-high premiums and deductibles. The Government Accountability Office reports persistent and large-scale vulnerabilities that allow fraud to occur in the ACA marketplace at the expense of the taxpayer.

The Health Care Freedom for Patients Act was offered as an alternative to the Democrats’ Lower Health Care Costs Act, which would have extended enhanced ACA subsidies for three additional years at an estimated cost of $83 billion, without addressing the underlying drivers of rising premiums. This bill also failed to advance.

Every Kansan, and every American, needs access to quality, affordable care. I remain committed to working with my colleagues to finding solutions that deliver lasting results, transparency and better affordability for Kansas families.

Meeting with New Commanding General of Ft. Leavenworth’s Combined Arms Center 
This week, I met with the new Commanding General of the Combined Arms Center (CAC) at Fort Leavenworth, Lieutenant General (LTG) James Isenhower III. We discussed his past leadership experience in the Army and his vision for the CAC to strengthen soldiers to be the at forefront of modern warfare and military preparedness. I look forward to working with LTG Isenhower to support the CAC’s important mission to the Army enterprise and making certain that Fort Leavenworth has the resources necessary to support the soldiers and families which call it home. Thank you, LTG Isenhower, for your dedicated leadership and service to our country, Fort Leavenworth and to Kansas.

Meeting with NCTA President & CEO Cory Gardner
On Monday, I met with Cory Gardner, President and CEO of NCTA – The Internet and Television Association, to discuss issues facing the cable and television industries and ongoing proceedings at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that impact NCTA’s member companies. During our meeting, Senator Gardner and I discussed spectrum policy and ongoing federal broadband deployment efforts.

Image

Discussing Broadband with FCC Chairman Carr and Commissioner Trusty
This week, I met with Brendan Carr, Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and FCC Commissioner Olivia Trusty to discuss the state of telecommunications policy and industry in the U.S. in advance of Chairman Carr and Commissioner Trusty’s appearance before the Senate Commerce Committee next Wednesday.

During our meeting, we discussed the critical importance of local broadcasters, particularly in rural communities in Kansas, the FCC’s ongoing work on implementing provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and the importance of the Universal Service Fund to delivering the goals of reliable and fast internet connections for every American. We also discussed the FCC’s efforts to improve telecommunications in the U.S., including Commissioner Trusty’s work to advance universal connectivity, network resiliency and U.S. leadership in telecommunications policy and infrastructure.

I am grateful to Chairman Carr and Commissioner Trusty for their time and insights, and I look forward to hearing from them at the oversight hearing next week.

Receiving Update from President of Tyson Beef Chad Martin
This week, I met with Chad Martin, President of Tyson Beef, and he provided updates on their operations in Kansas and the surrounding states. We discussed the current state of the domestic cattle inventory and its effects on the market. We also discussed how international trade can increase the value of American beef, making certain ranchers in Kansas and across the country remain profitable. Thank you to Tyson for their continued investment in Kansas.

Image

Meeting with Kansans
KBI Director Tony Mattivi
This week, I met with Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) Director Tony Mattivi to discuss efforts to bolster public safety in Kansas and how federal and state partners can continue working together to keep our communities safe. Director Mattivi shared an update on KBI’s current priorities, including expanding the bureau’s technological capacity and the agency’s role in supporting local law enforcement across the state.

I emphasized my continued support for making certain law enforcement officers have the tools, training and resources they need to do their jobs effectively and safely. I appreciate Director Mattivi’s leadership and his commitment to strengthening the KBI’s authority to meet current threats and maintaining the agency’s high standards of professionalism.

Image

AIPAC
On Wednesday, I met with Bonnie Siegel of AIPAC to discuss the U.S.-Israel relationship and AIPAC’s perspective on the recently agreed upon peace plan. During our meeting, we spoke about our shared concern about the rise of antisemitism across the country and the importance of making certain that the Trump administration’s peace framework is implemented as intended. I’m grateful for the work Bonnie does to support the Jewish community and appreciated our conversation on how the U.S. can continue to engage in pursuing diplomatic solutions around the world.

Image

Kansas Judicial Branch
On Thursday, I met with members of the Kansas Judicial Branch, Deputy Judicial Administrator Shawn Jurgensen and Judicial Administrator of the Kansas Court System Stephanie Smith, to discuss recent updates on Veterans Treatment Courts in Kansas. These courts continue to demonstrate their value in helping veterans receive the support they’ve earned and get back on a stable path. I appreciate the judges and court staff who are working to expand these efforts in more communities across our state.

During our conversation, we also talked about the growing need for attorneys and judges in rural Kansas. Many small towns are struggling to recruit and retain legal professionals, which puts an additional strain on local courts and makes it harder for Kansans to access legal help when they need it.

Image

Cosmosphere
It was great meeting with Jim Remar, President and CEO of Cosmosphere in Hutchinson, while he was in D.C. Mr. Remar has been with Cosmosphere for more than 20 years and has helped shape it into a renowned museum and learning center. I appreciated learning more about the important work Mr. Remar and his team are doing to inspire future generations and to celebrate America’s leadership in space.

During our meeting, he also presented me with a Kansas flag that was flown aboard the first Apollo 16 mission to the lunar highlands, highlighting our state’s long history with space exploration.

Image

Former Kansas City Fire Chief John Paul Jones
On Wednesday, I met with John Paul Jones, former Fire Chief of the Kansas City Fire Department who was in Washington, D.C. on behalf of the Public Safety Broadband Technology Association to discuss first responders’ priorities for FirstNet, which is due for reauthorization by February 2027. FirstNet, also known as the Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network (NPSBN), was created to provide fast, reliable and secure communications for first responders.

I am grateful to Chief Jones, Division Chief for Command and Emergency Planning of the Orange County Fire Authority Mike Sheehan and New York Fire Chief John Esposito for their time and insights and for their decades of service protecting their communities.

Visits Across Kansas
Topeka Police Department
On Friday, I spoke at the unveiling of a new emergency vehicle for the Topeka Police Department. As Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice and Science, which funds the Department of Justice and federal law enforcement, I helped secure a $385,000 federal investment for the purchase of the new vehicle. I am committed to making certain that law enforcement officials in Kansas and across the country have access to the resources necessary to respond and assist neighboring communities in order to keep their communities safe.

I want to thank Topeka Chief of Police Chris Vallejo for the invitation and all members of the Topeka Police Department for their continued dedication to serving the Topeka community. I was also joined by Topeka Mayor Michael Padilla, Topeka Mayor-elect Spencer Duncan, Shawnee County Commissioner Aaron Mays, Kansas State Senators Rick Kloos and Brenda Diedrich and the Greater Topeka Partnership’s CEO Molly Howey and President Bob Ross.

Image

Reception for Outgoing Topeka Mayor Michael Padilla
Following the Topeka Police Department ceremony on Friday, I attended the going-away reception for outgoing Topeka Mayor Michael Padilla. Mayor Padilla has served as Topeka’s mayor since 2022, and prior to that, he served on the Topeka City Council and as a member of the Topeka Police Department for 33 years. I want to thank Mayor Padilla for his career in public service to the people of Topeka and wish him, his wife, Ronnie, and their two children well as he starts this new chapter.

Maple Hill Community
This week, I stopped by Maple Hill to visit with folks from the community. During my visit, I met with folks at Stockgrowers State Bank, Main Street Studio and the 24/7 Travel Center. I also stopped by Flaming Grill Restaurant, City Hall, the local U.S. Post Office and Heir Insurance Services where I visited with insurance agent Wille Glotzbach. Thank you to the Maple Hill community for the warm welcome and conversations.

Celebrating 389th Anniversary of the National Guard
Saturday, December 13th was the United States National Guard’s 389th birthday. The national guard was our country’s first militia, with the first regiments predating the unification of our country.

In Kansas, there are over 6,600 National Guard members, with over 5,200 of them serving in the Army National Guard and 2,300 in the Air National Guard. I thank each one of them – and their families – for their service and sacrifice. The deep roots and impact the National Guard has had on our state and country is something we should always be reminded of and grateful for. Members of the National Guard, alongside their active-duty counterparts, are the backbone of our country, and I appreciate them for answering the call to serve.

Image

Celebrating Wreaths Across America Day
Saturday, December 13th was also National Wreaths Across America Day, where wreaths were placed on servicemembers’ graves in cemeteries around the country in memory and honor of their service. Wreaths Across America aims to make certain that no servicemember is forgotten, and I thank them for working to make certain that the stories and sacrifices of our nation’s heroes live on.

Happy Hanukkah
Happy Hanukkah to our Jewish friends in Kansas and around the world! May the Festival of Lights bring you and your loved ones joy, peace and love.

K-State to Host Calving School in Southeast KS

Program focuses on calving management and handling difficult births.

Kansas State University’s Department of Animal Sciences and Industry and K-State Extension’s Southwind District, Wildcat District, and Cherokee County will host a Calving Management School in Erie as part of a statewide educational effort preparing producers for the upcoming calving season.

The event will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 7, at the Neosho Valley Event Center, 321 N. Wood, Erie, Kansas. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m., and the meal and program will begin at 6:00 p.m. Producers are asked to register online at: https://bit.ly/SEKCalvingSchool2026 or call 620-244-3826. Thanks to the generous sponsorships from the Community Foundation of Southeast Kansas, Cleaver Farm & Home, Merck Animal Health, and Zoetis, producers can attend the program at no charge.

The program will cover overall calving management, including the stages of normal labor and practical tips for managing difficult calving situations. A.J. Tarpoff, K-State Extension beef veterinarian, said the goal of the program is to increase producer knowledge and hands-on skills to support more successful births when assistance is needed.

“We want producers to leave better prepared for calving season,” Tarpoff said. “We will discuss timelines on when to examine cows for problems, when to call your veterinarian if something isn’t progressing normally, and how to provide proper calf care during the first hours of life. It’s an excellent program for all experience levels.”

Dr. Tarpoff will also demonstrate the proper use of calving equipment using a life-size cow and calf model. Local extension agents will also cover Body Condition Scoring and a Calving Tool-Kit.

Two Pennies and a Nickel by Carolyn Tucker

Keys to the Kingdom

By Carolyn Tucker

Two Pennies and a Nickel

My normal routine is to go to my late-husband’s grave every winter, spring, summer, and fall, in addition to other special dates, to switch out the floral arrangements. He died on 02-21-2021, exactly two weeks after my 63rd birthday. Sometime later that year I found a nickel on his headstone. I knew someone had placed it there on purpose so I left it there. Four years later, I noticed two pennies had been added. My heart was warmed as I examined them and took note of the years: 2014 and 2018. I suppose the dates meant nothing to the individual who thoughtfully placed them there, but Jimmy was diagnosed in 2014 and 2018 was our last family vacation at our favorite spot in Gulf Shores, Alabama. People leave coins on a headstone to demonstrate that the departed are loved, appreciated, and respected long after their passing. The language of coins left on a loved one’s headstone is a time-honored tradition. I don’t have words to say what these coins mean to me — only tears.

It is a reality that one day we’re all going to exit this world one way or another. “And because by God’s law, death comes to men once and after that they are judged“ (Hebrews 9:27 BBE). When our appointed time comes, we won’t be taking anything with us, but we will leave our testimony and legacy behind. The most important thing we will ever do is accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord. And after that, it’s all about how we loved and lived like Jesus told us.   

The words and music to “All That Really Matters,” written by Marcia Henry and recorded by Jeff & Sheri Easter, really sums up life in a few short words:  “They’re talking about him, he isn’t even there. His best friends and family, what a way to show they care. Haven’t mentioned his money or the kind of clothes he wore. But they say he loved his family and he proudly served the Lord. All that really matters when it’s all said and done, all that really matters when your time to go has come — Did you know Jesus, and show Him to anyone?”

Jesus is the best at presenting a straightforward message; the parable of the rich fool is no exception: “Then He [Jesus] told them a story: A rich man had a fertile farm that produced fine crops. He said to himself, ‘What should I do? I don‘t have room for all my crops.’ Then he said, ‘I know! I‘ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones. Then I‘ll have room enough to store all my wheat and other goods. And I‘ll sit back and say to myself, ‘My friend, you have enough stored away for years to come. Now take it easy! Eat, drink, and be merry!’ But God said to him, ‘You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get everything you worked for?‘ Yes, a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God.” (Luke 12:16-21 NLT).

Jesus is not speaking against being wealthy; he’s telling us to be wise in handling our abundance. And He’s advising us to work at keeping our priorities straight by daily walking with God like Enoch and being God‘s friend like Abraham.

The Key: What we do while living affects our best friends and family forever. Think about that.

U.S. Congressman Derek Schmidt Newsletter

Rep. Derek Schmidt's header image

Friends,

 

Earlier this week, the House of Representatives passed the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026 (NDAA) on a bipartisan vote of 312-112. I was pleased to join my colleagues on the House Armed Services Committee, and in the full House, to support this critical legislation to ensure our military remains the most lethal and effective. The bill now heads to the Senate for further consideration.

The House-passed NDAA includes many provisions aimed at enhancing peace through strength, improving servicemembers’ quality of life, and revitalizing the defense industrial base. I was particularly pleased initiatives that I advocated for on behalf of our district were also included in bill. Earlier in the year, I introduced legislation to streamline the process for small businesses to become suppliers for the Pentagon. In my view, the effort to cut red tape is essential so small, innovative companies can help supply America’s defense need.

The NDAA also included H.R. 6595, a bill Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) and I led to improve veterans’ access to healthcare and protect against downsizing of Department of Defense medical facilities. This would include Irwin Army Community Hospital at Fort Riley. I also served as a co-lead on a bipartisan measure to improve retention of quality Army and Air Force National Guard officers by eliminating a penalty for breaks in service. During House Armed Services Committee consideration, I was also able to secure a directive that the National Simulation Center at Fort Leavenworth remain in operation.

When I was elected to Congress, I sought a seat on the House Armed Services Committee to strengthen our ability to advocate for America’s military strength, the needs of our Kansas military communities, and the thousands of Kansans in our district who serve in the Armed Forces or support those who do. As I serve on this committee, I’m working toward those priorities and am encouraged by the progress thus far.

Other provisions I supported in the NDAA include:

  • Authorizing a 3.8% pay raise for military personnel;
  • Authorizing more than $490 million to design and build new childcare centers;
  • Improving assistance to service members and families receiving orders to relocate;
  • Preventing cancellation of the Air Force’s E-7 Wedgetail aircraft acquisition, protecting Kansas jobs;
  • Increasing the number of air refueling tankers over time to remain capable and ready;
  • Limiting the Pentagon’s ability to further reduce U.S. force posture in Europe;
  • Establishing more test corridors for hypersonic and long-range weapons; and
  • Establishing an Advanced Nuclear Transition Working Group to coordinate the deployment of advanced nuclear technologies on military installations.
Constituent Services

My team stands ready to help Kansans in the Second Congressional District who are dealing with unresolved federal issues. This includes assistance with the VA, Social Security, the IRS, and other federal agencies.

Visiting with Kansans

I had the pleasure of sitting down with many Kansans during their visits to Washington this week. Thank you to Kansas City Industrial Council and Missouri and Associated Rivers Coalition (MOARC), Pittsburg State University, and the Kansas Forest Service for stopping by!

Which Potato Should I Buy? by Sandy Haggard

Which Potato Should I Buy?

Those of us in Kansas are used to eating meat and potatoes almost everyday. Who doesn’t enjoy mashed potatoes with chicken noodles on a cold gray day in the winter, or eating potato casseroles? There are many varieties of potatoes in the grocery store, so how do you choose which potato to buy for which situation? While many shoppers choose potatoes based on personal preference, there are some guidelines to help choose the right potato for the right recipe.

Potato preparation is based on two quality characteristics, starch and moisture content. These two components can determine the best way to cook them.

High starch/low moisture – The russet potato fits in this category. The high solids content yields a dry, fluffy, mealy texture well suited for baking, mashing, frying, or pureeing. They also make good French fries.

Low to medium starch/high to medium moisture – Red and yellow potatoes fit in this category. They have a waxy texture which makes them good for boiling, steaming, braising, stewing, in salads, or any other recipe where potatoes need to remain intact. They don’t absorb much water during cooking, so they have a smooth, creamy texture.

Here are some common varieties and their uses:

Russet – baking, mashing, frying, roasting

Whites – boiling, steaming, mashing, baking, roasting and in casseroles (scalloped and au gratin), soups and salads.

Reds – boiling, roasting, steaming and in casseroles (scalloped and au gratin), soups and salads.

Yellows – baking, boiling, mashing or roasting.

Blue/Purple – bake or mash, French fry, steam, or boil.

Fingerlings – steam, bake, or boil; also good in salads.

Potatoes can provide essential nutrients such as potassium, Vitamin C, and fiber. They are suitable for those with digestive issues, and by themselves, they are fat-free, gluten-free, plant-based, and they are often affordable.

Enjoy your family gatherings and keep safe food handling tips in mind for the health of your family members. For further information on nutrition programming such as Dining with Diabetes or Planning Family Meals, please contact Sandy Haggard, Nutrition, Food Safety, and Health Agent, Southwind District, [email protected] or 620.365.2242.

Updated Drought Warning Includes Bourbon County

Governor Kelly Updates Declaration of Drought Emergency, Warnings, and Watches for Kansas Counties

TOPEKA — Governor Laura Kelly has signed a proclamation approving updated drought declarations for Kansas counties.

Above-normal precipitation in recent months has led to noticeable improvement in drought conditions, particularly across the western two-thirds of the state. Fall 2025 is expected to rank as the 41st wettest on record, with south-central Kansas on pace to end the year among its top 10 wettest ever. However, pockets of dryness continue to persist in many parts of northeastern Kansas.

The drought declaration removed 39 counties from drought status and placed 43 counties into watch status. This action was recommended by Connie Owen, Director of the Kansas Water Office and Chair of the Governor’s Drought Response Team.

“Despite recent progress, numerous counties are still experiencing challenges from diminished water availability and stressed resources,” Governor Laura Kelly said. “As we enter the winter months, I urge Kansans to use water wisely and stay attentive to the evolving impacts of drought on public health, agriculture, and wildlife across the state.”

Kansas is expected to have below normal precipitation this winter, which can lead to a potential for above normal fire activity during any warm or dry period the state may receive. The Governor’s Drought Response Team will continue to monitor the drought conditions across Kansas and make recommendations to Governor Kelly as conditions change.

“Counties in a watch status have conditions which indicate the probability of a water shortage is rising. It is important to monitor these conditions and be mindful of water usage in these counties,” said Connie Owen, Director of the Kansas Water Office and Chair of the Governor’s Drought Response Team.

This proclamation shall remain in effect for those counties identified until rescinded by a proclamation ending the declaration or revising the drought stage status of the affected counties.

Effective immediately, the proclamation:

Declares a Drought Emergency, Warning, or Watch for the counties as identified below;

Authorizes and directs all agencies under the jurisdiction of the governor to implement the appropriate watch, warning, or emergency-level drought response actions assigned in the Operations Plan of the Governor’s Drought Response Team.

The Governor’s Drought Response Team will continue to watch the situation closely and work to minimize the negative drought-induced effects on Kansans. Kansans are encouraged to report drought-related conditions and impacts in their region through the Condition Monitoring Observer Reports (CMOR) system.

For more detailed information about current conditions, visit the Climate and Drought webpage on the Kansas Water Office website at kwo.ks.gov.

County Drought Stage Declarations:

Drought Emergency: None.

Drought Warning: None.

Drought Watch: Allen, Anderson, Atchison, Bourbon, Brown, Butler, Cherokee, Clay, Cloud, Coffey, Crawford, Dickinson, Doniphan, Douglas, Elk, Franklin, Geary, Greenwood, Jackson, Jefferson, Jewell, Johnson, Labette, Leavenworth, Linn, Lyon, Marshall, Miami, Montgomery, Morris, Nemaha, Neosho, Osage, Ottawa, Pottawatomie, Republic, Riley, Shawnee, Wabaunsee, Washington, Wilson, Woodson, Wyandotte.

###

As the state’s water office, KWO conducts water planning, policy coordination and water marketing as well as facilitates public input throughout the state.

The agency prepares the KANSAS WATER PLAN, a plan for water resources development, management and conservation. KWO in coordination with the KWA also reviews all water laws and makes recommendations to the Governor and Legislature for needed legislation.
