‌ ‌ WEEKLY UPDATE September 2, 2022 Dear Kansas friends, Thank you for your interest in receiving my newsletter. Please feel free to share this with your friends and family. Spending Time in SEK Fantastic time talking with Kansans and stopping by small businesses in Southeast Kansas! Families and businesses continue to struggle from historic inflation levels. It's time to rein in federal spending to bring down prices and provide much-needed relief to folks across our state. ‌ Discussing Growth & Development in Leavenworth Great spending the morning in Leavenworth on Wednesday. I had the opportunity to tour development projects, talk about growth in the community, and discuss operations at the Leavenworth VA. Thank you to Mayor Leonhard, City Manager Kramer, and VA Director Klopfer for showing me around! Touring Ash Grove Cement Great visiting Ash Grove Cement Company in Chanute. I had the chance to chat with employees and learn more about how they provide critical materials to projects across the country. Remembering Our Fallen Heroes One year ago, 13 United States servicemembers lost their lives fighting to protect Americans and our allies during President Biden's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. We will never forget their service, sacrifice, and heroism. God Bless our Armed Forces. Inflation is Crushing Kansas Families Whether you're watching the Chiefs at home or inside Arrowhead, historic inflation caused by Democrats' reckless spending will make this season the most expensive in decades. Propane is up 22% Chicken is up 17.6% Snacks are up 16.5% Pop is up 12.9% Ground beef is up 9.7% Inflation Reduction Act IRS Spending Only 4% of the $80 billion that Democrats just gave the IRS will go towards helping and assisting taxpayers. Over 50% of the funding will go towards beefing up tax enforcement. If you need assistance with the IRS, please call my office or reach us online at laturner.house.gov. Fighting for Election Integrity I am proud to cosponsor the American Confidence in Elections (ACE) Act. This bill will focus on strong election integrity reforms and help states ensure every eligible, registered American voter has their voice heard at the ballot box. ‌ ‌ Rep.
