Staying connected: update


Here's a glimpse of The Timbers' Las Vegas Night (see previous post). There were just-for-fun poker games inside and great food and friends under a canopy outside.

Staying connected

For me, life on the campaign means keeping a cell phone in my hand all day long - to stay in touch with supporters, volunteers, the printer, reporters, voters, my kids. . . . I'd say it makes me wonder how campaigns were run without them, but no matter how much I rely on technology, it is just a tool to help me do what's really important: Connect.

All day, every day in the 29th District, I meet new people and stay in touch with old friends as I conduct business and attend events. As a lifelong resident of the 29th District, I know that the heart of our community is its people.

At one of the events on my schedule today, I'll be visiting with my friends from the Cerebral Palsy Research Foundation and The Timbers. This unique, independent living community for people with disabilities and the elderly, was developed by CPRF nearly 30 years ago and is a tremendous asset to Wichita and the region.

With your support and your vote, I'll continue working to ensure that all residents of the 29th District have a voice at the Statehouse.
