During the past two weeks I have been in the Third District while Congress is on recess. While home I’ve attended various community events, including the Johnson County Fair Parade in Gardner. I’d like to thank all of my supporters who came out and walked with us.

Last Tuesday, I hosted an Energy Forum at the KU Edwards Campus. The forum brought together representatives from energy related government offices and businesses. I was delighted to take part in a discussion of our country’s energy crisis and the need for a comprehensive energy policy.

On Friday, I joined Gov. Sebelius at the GM Fairfax plant in Kansas City, Kansas, for the launch of the new Saturn Aura. It is a great car assembled by a great group of hard working men and women. I’m sure it will be a great success!

This weekend I had a packed schedule, which included the opening of the Kansas Democratic Party’s new Douglas County office. I was pleased to see all of the energetic volunteers and supporters gathered there. With such enthusiasm and dedication we can look forward to a very exciting campaign season!
