WASHINGTON-—Kansas new Senator-elect is making the rounds in Washington and trying to make new friends. On his social media page Adam Hamilton wrote, "LaVon and I spent the last two days in Washington, D.C. at new senator orientation. At times it felt like drinking from a firehose. At other times I found myself deeply moved."
"I want to share a few highlights."
We spent time with Democrats and Republicans together, getting to know each other as people. That’s where common ground begins. Over dinners and at caucus meetings, I could feel the beginnings of productive, friendly relationships.
On the Senate floor, I sat at a desk where generations of remarkable men and women have sat before me. I am humbled that God, and the people of Kansas, have given me this privilege.
I also want to thank my new colleague, Senator Jerry Moran, for hosting me in his office. I look forward to working with him.
There’s so much more I could share. For now, I’ll just say it again: I am grateful for this opportunity to serve the people of Kansas and our country.
