I will start immediately to prepare so that on day one – January 3, 2025 – we can get straight to work securing our border, reducing the high cost of living, reducing the regulatory burden, and addressing the many other priorities Kansans have told me are important for our great country. Thank you for this opportunity to serve, and God bless America!”
