KELLY: I grew up in a military family, lived all over, but Kansas was where we wanted to raise our daughters. Strong communities, great public schools. And I worked in the state Senate to make them even better, expanding pre-k and after-school programs. So to me, Sam Brownback's massive education cuts weren't numbers on a spreadsheet. They were an attack on who we are as Kansans. That's why I'm running for governor. Not just to restore funding – to restore what makes our state special.
