LAKE QUIVIRA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly argued Thursday that mandates like those imposed by the federal government for vaccinating workers against COVID-19 “tend not to work,” the Democrat’s first public statements on the rules heading into a difficult reelection campaign in her Republican-leaning state.
Her comments during a Kansas City-area chambers of commerce lunch were her first public statements on the vaccine mandates. She’s faced criticism from Republicans and some labor-union members who oppose the mandates for not publicly opposing them after the Democratic president first announced them in September. Her staff has said she couldn’t comment until the state learned the details.
“We have not mandated a vaccine in the state of Kansas. We have done everything we can to encourage people and to make it easy for folks to get vaccinated,” Kelly said. “I’ve lived in Kansas a long time and I understand that those kinds of things tend not to work.”
”OSHA just this morning released a 490 page document. I’m not going to pretend to have read it,” Kelly said. “I’m not sure that there are going to be a lot of ways that we can design this to work for Kansas. Give me a little bit of time to work on it and we will see what we can do.”
Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt, a Republican hoping to unseat Kelly in next year’s governor’s race, already has brought Kansas into a federal lawsuit filed by multiple states against the requirement for government contractors.

I have only called your office every day for five months now.
She is getting calls from pissed off farmers.
Looks to me like she has read Tuesdays tea leaves.
Vote her out anyways. Democrats lie. Always.
You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.
Kelly is up for re-election in 2022, starting to sweat more than a little I would say.
The mandatory vaccinations are evil crimes against humanity and her strongest argument is that “they tend not to work”....
That is like objecting to concentration camps on the grounds they “tend not to work”.
They work just fine.
They are evil.
Biden has no feel for how he is wrecking the democratic party with his mandates. He is such a wizbang that he has no idea. I cannot believe a man can be this stupid and democrats still vote for him.
Well not just Dims...plenty of Pubbies lie their asses off too
Dementia, Senile...and dumb don’t mix.
Whether the vaccine works or doesn't work is irrelevant. What's at stake here is freedom. People should not be forced by the government to take an experimental drug - EVER. They should be allowed to choose for themselves and their children.
I chose to get the jab and the jab booster, but I am adamantly opposed to a government jab mandate.
I think if the government had used their time to convince people to get vaccinated instead of going full totalitarian that a higher percentage of people would already be vaccinated.
Bear in mind most of this doesn't come from Biden. He's just a vessel used by his handlers Susan Rice, ValJar, Ron Klain and last, but certainly not least, nobama, et al.
The nasty witch tried to shut down our schools. Luckily, the state Board of Ed blocked it.
