Many of you know Derek Schmidt as our state senator. He has served us honorably in that capacity for 10 years and has become a real friend to this community. Derek is now running to be the next attorney general of Kansas and we can’t think of a better person for the job.
He worked as an assistant attorney general for consumer protection in the Carla Stovall administration and went on to serve as special council to Gov. Bill Graves.
During his service in the Legislature, Derek has led efforts to make sure Kansas is a safe place to live. Derek has fought to reduce the number of meth labs in Kansas and helped pass legislation to crack down on drunk drivers.
Derek demonstrated to us his ability to lead when he spearheaded the efforts to pass significant disaster recovery legislation after much of southeast Kansas was affected by the flood of 2007. He was instrumental in helping Allen County get the tools it needed to get back on its feet. Our community has been lucky to have Derek as an advocate for our area, but it is time to share him with the rest of the state.
We hope you will join us in supporting our friend, Derek Schmidt, for attorney general.
Sincerely,
Joe and Cheryl Miller
Iola, Kan.
