Thursday afternoon a small crowd of Dickinson
county Republicans gathered in support of Governor Sam Brownback. Brownback was
also accompanied by Congressman Tim Huelskamp, Kansas Attorney General Derek
Schmidt, Kansas Treasurer Ron Estes and Lt. Governor Jeff Colyer. The crowd was
also expecting Senator Pat Roberts but his daughter was there to speak in his
place.

Brownback spoke of “reclaiming family values,”
lowering taxes for Kansas residents and took pride in raising the interstate
speed-limit to 75mph. Brownback also told the crowd that he has increased
funding for schools, despite protests of the Brownback campaign from the Kansas
National Education Association.
