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!

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!
There’s nothing quite like being out on the open road in Kansas.Since I launched this campaign last May, I’ve been fortunate to put quite a few miles on the truck and see some of the most beautiful parts of our state along the way. You’ll be seeing some more signs soon! Thank you to everyone who has put up a sign or stopped to visit with us along the way. I’m grateful for the support and looking forward to many more miles on the road between now and November.
It was an honor to be in Emporia today to speak at their 9/11 Memorial and join veterans and members of the community in marking 25 years since that terrible day.Days like today are a powerful reminder of what service really means. In the aftermath of September 11, Americans from every walk of life stepped forward to serve their communities and their country. For many, that commitment would shape the next two decades of their lives.Twenty-five years later, our responsibility is to carry that spirit of service forward and make sure the sacrifices made in defense of our nation are never taken for granted.
Twenty-five years ago today, our nation experienced a tragedy. Those of us who lived through it will never forget.We remember the innocent lives lost, the first responders who rushed toward the towers as others rushed to safety, the passengers of Flight 93 who fought back, and the Americans who answered the call to defend our country in the years that followed.But an entire generation has now grown up knowing September 11 only as a story. It is our responsibility to keep telling those stories; to remember the courage and sacrifice we witnessed and ensure the lessons of that day are never lost.
One year ago today, Charlie Kirk was assassinated while doing something he deeply believed in: engaging the next generation in a conversation about the future of our country.Charlie believed fiercely in free speech. He believed we should be willing to exchange ideas, challenge one another, disagree with one another, and keep the conversation going. He also believed deeply in the potential of young Americans and dedicated much of his life to encouraging them to take an active role in the nation they will one day inherit.This year, the Kansas Legislature honored that legacy by protecting free expression on our college campuses through the KIRK Act and establishing Charlie Kirk Free Speech Day.A year later, his absence is still deeply felt. But the principles he championed live on every time someone chooses dialogue over division, refuses to be silenced, and challenges the next generation to believe in America and its future.
