Kansas Governor, Laura Kelly, has announced the launch of her statewide listening tour, labeled as “The People’s Budget”. Throughout the fall, Governor Kelly will travel to eight communities across Kansas to host Town Hall events where she will speak directly with Kansans, gathering their priorities for the state’s budget ahead of the 2026 Legislative Session. Kelly says the tour is because Kansans should know and have a say in where their hard-earned taxpayer dollars are going. Kelly says she is going on the tour to hear feedback on how to repair the damage caused by what she calls the legislature’s reckless budget.
The People’s Budget Tour will launch on Thursday in Salina, at Salina South High School. Governor Kelly will be joined at each event by Adam Profitt, Director of the Budget/Secretary of the Kansas Department of Administration. Other cities on the tour include Hays, Garden City, Kansas City, Leawood, Emporia, Pittsburg and Wichita.
