Hutchins would bring experience to Kansas House

   Kansas will have a new state representative for the 61st District, which includes most of Jackson County and Pottawatomie County, since incumbent state rep Richard Carlson is not seeking re-election after 10 years of service.

   Voters in the 61st District have the opportunity to send an experienced state legislator back to the State Legislature, nonetheless, since Becky Hutchins of Holton is a candidate for the position.

   Hutchins served as the state representative for the 50th District, which included Jackson County, from 1994 to 2006. The 50th District has since been grouped with Pottawatomie County in the 61st District.

   Hutchins understands the issues facing the district and the state and shares our rural values. Her 12 years of previous experience as a state legislator is another bonus. We know Becky Hutchins and have confidence in her proven ability to serve and represent us at the Legislature. For these reasons, she has our vote.
