 </figure>State Rep. J.R. Claeys (R-Salina) accepted a position with the Trump Victory campaign as a regional field director, supporting field operations for the president's re-election in swing states in the region. “I’m looking forward to building grassroots operations in battleground states to lead President Trump to victory in November,” said Claeys. “The president is leading a second economic resurgence, providing an opportunity for every American to succeed.” Claeys led the team that brought Trump to Kansas in 2018 for a rally at the Kansas Expocentre in Topeka, according to information provided by Claeys. He also managed the 2018 Wichita visit of Vice President Mike Pence, the information noted. “President Trump created the greatest economy in the world by getting government out of the way,” said Claeys. “He cut regulations, invested in job creators, and he’ll do it all again.” Claeys is currently running for the Kansas State Senate in District 24, serving Saline and Dickinson counties, including the cities of Salina and Abilene. Claeys was first elected to the Kansas House of Representatives in 2012. He has served in campaign manager and senior advisor roles in congressional and statewide campaigns in Kansas.&nbsp;&nbsp;
