The Child Advocate Act has now been signed into law! An Office of Child Advocate that is independent from the Administration will go a long way to bring needed accountability and transparency to the child welfare/foster care system in Kansas. #kslegWe’ve all heard heartbreaking stories of children in the care of the state that were sadly failed by the child welfare system. An Office of Child Advocate that is independent of the Governor’s Administration is needed to bring true accountability and advocacy for these vulnerable Kansas kids.
SPEAKER DAN HAWKINS
CONSERVATIVE LEADERSHIP
Welcome to my website! I hope you’ll take some time to look around, reach out with any questions you might have, and get involved. Together, we can take conservative leadership back to Topeka.
Learn where I stand on the issues
Conservative first
Unchecked government expansion limits our freedom as individuals and hinders the growth of the businesses our state’s economy relies on to thrive. Kansans from all walks of life are impacted in very real ways and I am dedicated to standing up for people just like you. During my time in office, I have worked to limit bureaucratic intervention in our day-to-day lives and make government more efficient. I believe in the importance of defending life, strengthening the family, and protecting our most cherished rights. I will continue fighting for you in Topeka.
Join the effort!
Campaigns take work. So does governing. Our state needs leadership that understands our communities and puts Kansas first. As Majority Leader, I worked to achieve many things for Kansans and voters showed their support for our efforts by sending another Republican supermajority back to the Kansas House. But the work goes on. As Speaker of the House, I need your help to share our current successes and future goals with our neighbors. Together, we can ensure that Kansas continues to be a great place to live, work, and raise a family!
