Governor Laura Kelly will be meeting with President Trump on Wednesday in Washington D.C. to discuss the coronavirus response in Kansas.
The Governor says she plans to speak with the President about the impact the virus has had on the state’s meat packing industry as well as availability of testing supplies and personal protective equipment. She will also discuss Kansas’ reopening plan with the President.
First Lady Melania Trump spoke about the need for mental health services during a time like this, according to the governor, on the weekly governor’s call with the President. Kelly says that Kansas has done well with providing mental health assistance for Kansas farmers and veterans and will bring this up with President Trump.
Governor Kelly adds she will also ask President Trump to consider giving states federal money to fill in revenue losses due to the coronavirus.
