The 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 expresses concern over the recent job cuts initiated by President Donald Trump and adviser Elon Musk, which have created uncertainty and anxiety within the federal workforce.
In response to these developments, the resolution calls upon Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach to take action to safeguard the rights and well-being of federal employees and their families. It emphasizes the Attorney General's responsibility to uphold the legal integrity of governmental operations and protect the interests of Kansans. The resolution concludes by directing the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to Attorney General Kobach and Representative L. Ruiz, urging them to support the federal workforce in Kansas.
