Office of the Governor

After putting Kansas back on track and ending her first term with the largest budget surplus in history, Governor Laura Kelly was re-elected and sworn in for a second term as the 48th Governor of the State of Kansas on January 9, 2023. Governor Kelly is a bipartisan leader who in her first term fully funded schools, improved infrastructure and broke records for business investment and job creation. As a result, the entire state prospered. Governor Kelly has set a North Star for her second term – to make Kansas the best place in the country to raise a family – and will continue to prioritize fiscal responsibility, affordable healthcare and early childhood development during her time in office.
