Kansas House District 11 Representative Jim Kelly will soon pass the baton of office to representative-elect Ron Bryce of Coffeyville.  As Kelly closes out 12 years in office, he's been able to reflect on some of his accomplishments while in office.

 

During his time in Topeka, Kelly says he learned that the problems facing southeast Kansas are not necessarily unique to the area.  Kelly says having the opportunity to represent the area where he grew up is something he'll never forget.

 

Kelly says after he wraps up his tenure, he plans to continue some part-time work banking. His last official day will be January 9^th.
