Kansas Governor Laura Kelly delivered the Landon Lecture at Kansas State University on Friday.
Kelly helped University President Rich Linton in celebrating the 161st birthday of the school, in addition to giving a speech in the student union.
The Governor emphasized how important it is for citizens to avoid divisive political messaging.
She continues and says reaching out to those who have different beliefs is a necessary part to any democracy. Kelly connects this idea to the expansion of Medicaid and how people of both political parties are in support of it.
The Landon Lecture was started in 1966 by former K-State President James A. McCain, and the lecture series is a tribute to the late Alfred M. Landon, who was a former Kansas governor and political leader.
