The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act became law this year, taking important steps to make housing more affordable for families across Kansas.

Here’s what the law does:

🏠 Increases housing supply by encouraging the construction of more
homes and addressing barriers to development.

✂️ Cuts unnecessary red tape to help communities build housing more efficiently.

🏦 Expands access to financing by supporting community and rural banks
that help families and local builders secure loans.

These reforms are a step toward making the American Dream of homeownership a reality for more Kansas families.

Dropped by Sabatha Manufacturers' Day. What a good idea to bring students from nearby school districts to see the many varied career opportunities in manufacturing--right here at home. Thank you to NorthWind Technical Services--one of the great local manufacturers--letting us visit.

I was excited to join in the ribbon cutting this week for new infill housing in eastern Wyandotte County. This particular developer has a goal of 100 new houses over the next two years, all at prices many working families can afford. I'm grateful to all who are working hard to make quality housing achievable for more Kansas families. Communities throughout our 2nd congressional district have told me the need for more quality housing at prices families can afford is great, and I've been listening. This is what we intended when we enacted the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act earlier this year.

Was in Washington this week to join the AUSA-Central Kansas Chapter for the annual AUSA conference. I'm proud to represent our great military communities and particularly appreciated discussing how we can continue to support Fort Riley and our adjacent communities in the Flint Hills region. Thank you for the helpful discussions.

Keeping our kids safe online is our responsibility.

The Take It Down Act, which I helped pass into law, requires online platforms to remove intimate images shared without permission, including fake images created with AI. This helps protect young people from exploitation and gives victims a way to take back control.

Every child deserves to feel safe online, and I’ll always stand up for their safety and protection.

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is now law—the biggest federal housing reform in more than 30 years.

I supported this bipartisan effort to increase housing supply, cut unnecessary red tape, and lower the cost of building homes. The law speeds up permitting, removes duplicative reviews, and helps local and rural banks provide more lending to families, small businesses, and farmers.

More homes and fewer barriers will help make homeownership more attainable for Kansas families.
