Lt. Governor David Toland

The @Chiefs have long been the “home team” for Kansans — now we’re partnering w/ them to build their new home in Kansas. Deal Points: -$3B stadium in Wyandotte Co -$300M HQ/Practice Facility -21,000 construction jobs -$4.4B construction impact -$1.06B annual economic impact

I want to thank KCK Mayor, Christal Watson, for her support to bring the @Chiefs to Wyandotte County! New jobs, new business opportunities and new visitors are all on their way as a result of our collaboration! Thanks to a great Mayor!

I want to thank Olathe Mayor Bacon for his hard work and collaboration to help land the @Chiefs new headquarters and training facility in Olathe! What a win for that community — jobs, small business activity, tourism and the Chiefs! All possible because of a great Mayor!

Then grabbed a delicious lunch at Sharky's new outdoor space. Lots of positive momentum in this great #SEK community! #CDWeek2025

Then saw the beautiful #HEAL project The Kitchen Collective + Collaborative, which is a great launching pad for new businesses as well as providing high quality, locally sourced food for Fort Scott and Southeast Kansas.

Great progress underway in Fort Scott! Visited #KAC award winner The Artificers and was blown away by everything happening in this amazing space.

2,000 new tech jobs coming to Kansas. Average salary of $102,000. Largest office recruitment in Kansas history. An absolute gamechanger. We're honored to partner with you, @Fiserv.

It was great meeting with the 2025 class of Leadership Manhattan recently at the Capitol. This group is committed to bringing change to their community, and the state is fully committed to support that change across Kansas.

It was an honor to be at @oprmc recently to celebrate the hard-working Kansans taking the next steps in their professional careers as nurse apprentices in a brand-new program through @HCAMidwest. This is big news for our workforce, the healthcare industry and our state!

Loved being at the Community Development Block Grant Awards Luncheon recently to celebrate the projects & communities that make our state the best place to live, work & play. I'm looking forward to the completion of these projects & the impact they'll have on our great state.

I was honored to celebrate some amazing Kansans last Thursday during the Governor’s Arts Awards. #KS is a state on the rise, & the arts play a crucial role in this growth. Congratulations to all for recognition that's well-deserved, & thank you for all you've done for Kansas.

Great to meet with the dedicated Kansans that traveled from all over our great state to represent @UnitedWay of #KS during their day at the Capitol. As we work to make #KS the best place to work, live & play, it's organizations like our United Ways that help us reach that goal.

Thank you to Comanche County for being such a wonderful host, and a big shout out to The Blonde Grill for the awesome food and custom cookies!

Visiting with the new cohort of rural champions was fantastic. These driven individuals are committed to making transformative changes in rural communities throughout the state.

By focusing on specific target areas in 2025, I’m excited to see what the future holds.

I can always count on having a fantastic lunch and thoughtful discussion when I get to see my neighbors from Southeast Kansas for SEK, Inc. Day on the Hill. This region is seeing momentum, and we are proud to be a partner in their continued success.

An amazing example of community collaboration that will resurrect this historic building to once again be a source of pride for generations to come.

Excited to cut the ribbon on the historic Brandt House in Alma last Friday. A vacant space for more than 30 years, this new boutique hotel will now bring new opportunities and growth to Alma.
