The Riley County Republican Party hosted a free breakfast featuring Kansas Governor Sam Brownback as the featured speaker on Saturday morning. Governor Brownback gave a presentation focused around his future plans to grow the Kansas economy, and moving forward with less funding from the federal government after what he calls the “federal bubble” bursts.
Governor Brownback also talked briefly about the redistricting issue saying “we’re over the first hurdle, but we’ve got a long ways to go”, and went on to predict that the fight for redistricting would be a long one.
The Riley County Republican breakfast also hosted many of the Republican candidates up for reelection, and a short fund raiser for those candidates for the upcoming fall elections.
