I worked with Oletha on her campaign last fall, and it is a testament to her commitment to the community and her work as a state representative that she earned 70 percent of the vote in the general election. It was a historic moment: She is the first African American woman chosen by voters to serve in our state Senate.It is fitting that she's been selected for Leadership Kansas, a program that works to develop and motivate future leaders in Kansas. More than 500 people are nominated each year. The 40 who are chosen participate in training sessions in six Kansas communities over the course of the year. Discussion topics include business, education, agriculture, public policy, societal health and development, economics and government.
Way to go, Oletha!
