Farm bankruptcies are back in the news, so it's time to pull this chart out again.

Hey look they kept rising during Trump's first term. Then they went way down under Biden.

Now they're up again? So weird. Thanks Farm Bureau for the graphic

Screenshot from Farm Bureau article on farm bankruptcies. It shows farm bankruptcies climbing steadily 2014-2020, falling by half in 2021, & continuing to fall through 2023.

I started the day with the Johnson County Commission on Aging. Among other things, I’m deeply concerned about federal cuts and instabilities that will affect food programs for seniors. #ksleg

I started my day supporting the Shawnee Mission Education Foundation. It was inspiring to hear how the district is working to make sure every student has a sense of belonging and a path to success.

Don’t believe the gun lobby’s hype: There is no research to support the idea that women’s gun ownership increases their safety. In fact, studies show the opposite—that women living in households with a firearm are at greater risk of homicide.

I’m proud to have advanced the conversation re: expanded access to diagnostic mammograms. Through partnerships & perseverance, we were able to overcome House R leadership’s opposition & get it for state employees.

Now is the time to get this access for all Kansans #ksleg

Instead of doing their job before health care costs skyrocket, D.C. partisan extremists shut down the government.

Tonight was the annual Johnson County Farm Bureau dinner. Topics included: the state of agriculture in general, the trade war, agritourism and public safety.

One thing we can all do to help farmers: SLOW DOWN and be patient when encountering farm vehicles. #ksleg
