Jay Vanier, Republican candidate for the Kansas House of Representatives, District 71, announced today that he has been endorsed by the Wichita Regional Chamber of Commerce Political Action Committee.

In announcing its endorsement, the PAC stated that, after carefully reviewing the candidates, it believes Vanier's "commitment to policies that promote economic growth, strengthen the business climate, and enhance the quality of life in our state makes you well qualified to serve the people of Kansas."

The Chamber PAC also recognized Vanier's willingness to engage with the business community on issues that matter to employers, workers, and families.

"I am honored to receive the endorsement of the Wichita Regional Chamber of Commerce Political Action Committee," Vanier said. "Kansas has tremendous potential, but we must become more competitive if we want to create jobs, attract new investment, and keep our young people here. I believe we can lower the property tax burden, encourage responsible economic development, improve educational outcomes, and reduce unnecessary regulation while maintaining the conservative values that make Kansas a great place to live and work."

Vanier said the endorsement reflects the importance of building a stronger Kansas economy through practical, results-oriented leadership.

"This campaign has always been about creating opportunities for Kansas families and small businesses," Vanier said. "I want District 71 and all of Kansas to be places where businesses choose to invest, families choose to stay, and the next generation can build successful careers without leaving our state."

Vanier is an attorney and businessman running for the Kansas House of Representatives to bring conservative, practical solutions to the challenges facing Kansas. His campaign is focused on lowering property taxes, strengthening economic development, improving education, and reducing unnecessary government regulation.
