Take a look and help contact your lawmakers to protect the reforms that have served Kansas youth over the last decade. No rollbacks to progress for kids!
Today, Kansas Appleseed is releasing a new report: “An Unfinished Story: Kansas Youth Justice Reform 10 Years After Senate Bill 367.” It looks at what SB 367 set out to do, what it achieved, and what’s at risk now: kansasappleseed.org/wp-conte… #ksleg

🚨 A new report shows Kansas foster youth are still being moved from bed to bed and denied needed mental health care. This new report makes clear: children need stability and care in the foster system.

Kansas fails again to meet foster care settlement outcomes. ‘It’s just painful’ kansascity.com/news/politics…

Kansas for the fourth straight year failed to meet legal requirements to improve the severe instability of the foster care system or provide mental health services to children who need them, according to an annual report from an independent evaluator #ksleg kansasreflector.com/2025/09/…

Great meeting with @kansasapple to talk about protecting access to health care and emergency food assistance. We’re partnering to keep Kansans secure.

Kansas voters will decide next year whether to rewrite the state’s constitution to turn the Kansas Supreme Court into an elected office #ksleg kansasreflector.com/2025/03/…

KS' Supreme Court merit selection system works. A statewide nonpartisan commission vets candidates & sends the three most qualified ones to the Governor who's elected by all Kansans. The Gov picks the best candidate of the three for the bench. Has worked well since 1958. #ksleg

Thanks to the nearly 100 individuals who joined us for this week's Bring It series session on hunger in Kansas. We had the opportunity to take the webinar on the road to Salina, where two of our panelists were participating in the #FuseKS event, organized by the @kansashealthorg, another statewide effort to address hunger in Kansas communities. Join us for another Bring It session today! @KansasApple @KansasFoodBank

The Supreme Court Nominating Commission process is the best process for shielding judicial candidates from influence during the selection process. By design, Kansas merit selection takes place far from the maneuvering of the political branches of government. No on SCR 1611.#ksleg

Popular election of Justices is not working elsewhere. In Wisconsin, $51 million was spent on a recent Supreme Court election. $45 million of that was in the form of dark money from outside Wisconsin. Arkansas is in gridlock right now and elects their SC Justices. #ksleg

We want #ksleg to pass HB 2179!

"I think if we’re going to sit here from this committee table and tell people what’s good for them — and that we know what’s best for them — that perhaps we ought to take a spoonful of our own medicine" #ksleg via @annafkaminski kansasreflector.com/2025/02/…
