This resolution highlights the significant presence of over 27,200 federal employees and their families residing in Kansas, primarily working for agencies such as Veterans Affairs, the Army, and the Department of Agriculture. These employees play a crucial role in collaborating with local entities to deliver essential services that align with state and national objectives in areas like education, healthcare, and transportation. The resolution emphasizes the importance of the Kansas Attorney General's role in upholding legal integrity and protecting the rights of these federal employees amidst recent job cuts initiated by President Donald Trump and adviser Elon Musk, which have created uncertainty within the federal workforce.
In light of these developments, the resolution calls upon Attorney General Kris Kobach to take action to safeguard the interests of Kansas federal employees and their families. It urges him to ensure the legal integrity of governmental operations in the state, reflecting a commitment to support the federal workforce during a time of upheaval. Additionally, the resolution mandates that a copy be sent to Attorney General Kobach and Representative L. Ruiz to inform them of this legislative stance.
