Strawn's impeccable ethics, clear thinking will benefit Kansas

To the Editor:

Voters in the Manhattan area are fortunate to have the opportunity to elect Bob Strawn to the Kansas House of Representatives. Our close working relationship for the past 15 years has demonstrated to me that Bob's clear thinking, tenacity and impeccable ethics were the foundation for our start-up chemical business to become a market leader. I observed Bob in the full spectrum of experiences from business leadership to family interactions. Bob has my complete trust and respect.

That is precisely what is needed in our elected representatives.
