Governor Kelly Announces EMP Shield to Build $1.9 Billion, 1,200-Job Computer Chip Manufacturing Facility in Burlington

“Bringing economic prosperity to every corner of the state – particularly rural Kansas – has been a priority since my very first day in office. We achieve that with this project, creating thousands of high-paying jobs that don’t require a four-year degree and proving that every Kansas community is ripe for investment and growth.”

Governor Kelly Tours Topeka Elementary and Middle School, Participates in Roundtable Discussion on Importance of Fully Funding Special Education Programs

“Before I took office, our public schools were not getting the funds they needed for our students to thrive. I’m proud of the work we’ve done to fully fund public education for four years in a row, but we can’t leave a single student behind. Every student deserves resources and support to succeed in the classroom. My budget puts Kansas on track to fully fund special education for the first time in over a decade. We owe it to our students to fully fund special education.”

Governor Kelly Visits Hollywood Casino to Cash in on Kansas' First Legal Sports Bet, Donate Winnings

“I was thrilled to be in Kansas City today to cash in on our state’s first legal sports bet, and to send my winnings to such a great cause. I can’t think of a better way to honor the Chiefs and Super Bowl LVII MVP Patrick Mahomes than by giving my wins to his foundation, which is doing so much good for our children. I’m grateful to the PENN Entertainment Foundation for joining me in supporting 15 and the Mahomies with such a generous donation.”

Governor Kelly Announces Kansas Education Enrichment Program Now Accepting Applications, Provides Qualifying Families with $1,000 per Student for Learning Recovery

“This program will provide Kansas students with new opportunities and resources to help them thrive in the classroom. I encourage all families that qualify to apply for KEEP.”
