Governor Kelly Sues Attorney General Kobach in
Kansas Supreme Court to Protect Governor’s Constitutional Authority
lawsuit

“Time and again, Attorney General Kobach’s blatant partisanship is on display, harming and embarrassing Kansas. While he was quick to sue the previous presidential administration, alleging he would protect Kansans from federal overreach, he has not once followed through on that claim now that the Trump Administration has repeatedly done just that. Not only has the Attorney General’s willful ignorance undermined my administration’s efforts to protect Kansans, but it has also cost our state millions of dollars for essential programs and services. If the Attorney General refuses to stand up for Kansas, at least Kansans can rest assured knowing that I will.”

“The opening of the new Docking State Office Building represents what we can accomplish when we work together to reimagine something from the past to meet the needs of today and the future. I’m proud of the collaboration and teamwork that went into the design, deconstruction, and reconstruction of this state-of-the-art facility. This new building truly honors the Docking family legacy of both fiscal responsibility and treating public servants with respect.”

Governor Kelly Sues Trump Administration for
Illegally Suspending SNAP Benefits
lawsuit

“States cannot, and should not, take on the federal government’s responsibility to fund SNAP. Cutting off SNAP payments is an unprecedented choice made by the Trump Administration and Congress that will harm millions of families across the country. I joined this lawsuit to protect Kansans, because the federal government has a legal and moral responsibility to fund this program, not to take food out of the mouths of Kansas children.”
