Emporia

At a campaign fundraiser in Emporia, Kansas on Monday, Mann told supporters that voters are ready for a change from 'politics as it is'. The remark frames the campaign around frustration with the political status quo and was reported by local radio news outlet KVOE, which covered the event and the candidate's message to those in attendance.

Kansas official Holscher made two stops in Emporia for public discussions covering education funding, property tax relief and state data center policies. The tour gave local residents a chance to hear directly about how schools are financed and how large data center projects might affect taxes and communities. The remarks touched on issues at the center of current state legislative debate.
