Laura Kellys 13 years in the state legislature has helped prepare her to be governor. As the minority leader of the states Ways and Means Committee, Kelly has fought for fiscal sanity, all along standing as a staunch opponent to former Gov. Sam Brownbacks disastrous tax policy.

Our credit rating has climbed from negative to stable, in the last six months, according to both the S&P and Moodys financial institutions who credited our renewed focus on fiscal responsibility.
