Kansas Sen. Caryn Tyson, R-Parker, officially launched her campaign for state treasurer Friday, making the announcement in front of supporters from across the state at Ravenwood Lodge in Topeka.
Tyson, who serves as chair of the Senate Assessment and Taxation Committee, told the audience that as state treasurer she will lead the fight to keep government accountable.
“As a legislator, I work diligently to represent you and my record proves it.” Tyson said. “Kansas needs a state treasurer that will fight for your liberties by providing transparency and a watchdog on state spending and investments. We need a state treasurer that will put Kansas first — that is exactly what I am going to do.
