So let's bring him up here, Dan Hawkins.

What a great day it is.

Brisk out here and kids of blood flowing good.

You know, we don't have Ty here this morning, so I'm going to talk for Ty for just a little bit.

You know, I've worked with Ty in the statehouse for eight years now.

And Ty and I, because of what you did, were able to deliver because of the people that you sent.

to Topeka for us to work with, we were able to override this governor 40 times this year.

No.

And if you look at, for example, how much waste there was under Laura Kelly in some of these other offices, if someone's not mined in the store, there's a lot of opportunity for waste in insurance.

You're absolutely correct.

And to say that there's not waste and fraud in insurance, you'd be wrong.

I guarantee you there's uh, fraud and ever, uh, ever piece of, of insurance there is out there somewhere, you know, workman's comp comes to mind really fast.

The amount of fraud that's in workman's comp and, and certainly, um, you know, other areas of insurance, there's, there's some fraud, you know, we, uh, we, this year we made a new law that gave the insurance commissioner's office, uh, the ability to actually prosecute fraud before, uh, this year.

It always had to go through the Attorney General's office, and they'll only take the biggest of the big fraud cases.

And there's a lot of small fraud cases that go on out there.

keep laboring the point but do you mind if i ask has your opponent i know she served i think she served on insurance in the legislature but has she actually been in the industry or is that just her claim to fame is that she actually she served on the insurance commission well it sounds basically sort of like me running for the office because i stayed at a holiday inn express last night

Yes.

Uh, so...

And, and it's one of, I guess one of my biggest arguments, uh, with our current, uh, insurance commissioner and many of the ones before them, before our last insurance commissioner, is, um, they didn't go out and try to bring business in.

They didn't look at rules and regulations and see why business, uh, you know, insurance companies did not want to come.

One of their biggest gripes, the insurance companies gripes is, is that we're hard to do business with.

Well, if we're hard to do business with, why? And i- and if we are, then we need to fix that.

Uh, it's not like that anymore, is it?

No, no.
