Congratulations to Stucky Farm and Lawn on the ribbon cutting and opening of their brand new facility in the Sedgwick Industrial Park.
Hard to believe it was back in 2009 when I sold Justin the acreage where he built his previous location. It’s been great watching his business grow over the years to the point of opening this impressive new facility.
Congratulations to Justin and the entire team—wishing you continued success! 🎉🌾🚜

Thank you to everyone who showed up last night for the town hall to provide input on possible data center regulations.
We had a full room with more than 750 people in attendance and 67 speakers who signed up to share their information and opinions on data centers in Sedgwick County. A special thank you for accommodating our last-minute venue change—it was standing room only!
Your willingness to participate, speak, and engage in the process is what makes community conversations meaningful.
Thank you, citizens of Sedgwick County for taking the time to show up and be involved.

Thank you to the Goddard Public Schools for the invitation to attend the State of the District meeting.
I got my political start serving on the Goddard School Board 15 years ago, so it was especially meaningful to be there. It was great to see so many familiar faces see the continued growth and progress of the district.

Thank you to the Clearwater FFA for the invitation and wonderful dinner tonight in honor of National FFA Week. FFA is an outstanding leadership program that builds real-world skills—from public speaking and leadership to welding and countless other opportunities. I’m excited to see Avery taking full advantage of all FFA has to offer and hope to see Sam follow right in her footsteps. 🌾💙

**“Sorry to brag, but another proud dad moment. Avery was highlighted on Atwood’s national FFA page this week! As we celebrate 75 years of National FFA Week, it’s a great reminder of the lasting impact FFA continues to have on students across the country.
FFA goes far beyond farming — it’s about leadership, career readiness, and hands-on education in agriculture, science, business, and technology. For generations, it’s helped young people develop skills that carry them wherever their future leads. 🌾

Excited to see construction begin on the new Wichita Police Department West Substation, located just east of Wichita Northwest High School.
I remember these conversations going back to when Chief Williams originally discussed a location near 135th, and later when Buffalo Park was also considered.
The selected site next to Northwest High School creates a great opportunity for a junior explorer program to introduce students to careers in law enforcement and public service. Looking forward to seeing this facility take shape and the positive impact it will have on our community.
