This November, Kansans will be asked to vote on two constitutional amendments that would shift the balance of power in our state:

• Amendment 1 would increase the power of the Kansas Legislature by allowing them to overturn any administrative agency decision with just a majority vote; and
• Amendment 2 would mandate the election of county sheriffs and would give the Attorney General the authority to initiate the recall of county sheriffs from office.

Join us to hear from panelists Amii Castle and Emily Depew as they explain what a "YES" and "NO" vote means on these amendments and the importance of your vote on November 8th.
