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!

A huge thank you to the Northeast Johnson County Republican Women for inviting me to their meeting last week.We had a great conversation about my background, why I’m running for Insurance Commissioner, and my plans to lower costs, bring more competition to Kansas, and fight for consumers.I always appreciate the opportunity to hear directly from Kansans about what they’re seeing and what they expect from their next Insurance Commissioner.
It was great to be back at K-State with leaders from the university and other elected officials for the ribbon cutting of the new Western Star Global Grain and Food Center!Kansas has always been a leader in agriculture and facilities like this will help keep us there. By bringing together students, researchers, and industry leaders, this new center will prepare the next generation of our agricultural workforce while developing new ideas in grain and food science that can benefit Kansas and the world.Congratulations to K-State and everyone who helped make this incredible new facility a reality!
239 years ago today, our Founders put pen to paper and laid the foundation for the greatest nation the world has ever known.The principles they enshrined in our Constitution, including limited government, separation of powers, individual liberty, and government accountable to the people, continue to guide our nation and state today. Happy Constitution Day!
You never quite know where your day will take you on the campaign trail! Every day is a new opportunity and quite frankly, that’s my favorite part. I stopped in Beloit for lunch with some local folks and ended up doing something I’ve done for more than 30 years: helping someone navigate a complicated insurance claim.Insurance can be confusing, and too often Kansans don’t know where to turn when they have a problem with their coverage or a claim. I’ve spent my career helping people and small businesses work through those situations and get answers.That’s exactly the experience I’ll bring to the Insurance Commissioner’s office. I know the industry, I know how to solve problems, and I’ll be ready to get to work helping Kansans on day one.
Yesterday, I had the chance to spend the day at one of my favorite Kansas traditions: the Kansas State Fair.There’s no better place to see so much of what makes our state special all in one place. I enjoyed walking the fairgrounds, catching up with old friends, and introducing myself to new supporters.Thanks to everyone who stopped to say hello. It was a great Saturday in Hutchinson!
