Kansas Insurance Commish Recovers More Than 11 MILLION Bucks

This kind of op/ed work is REAL local journalism because it offers a glimpse at a fun fact that local probably didn't know . . . And that's why were sharing.

Oh yeah . . . And just to ruin this one for any conservative friends. 

KANSAS GOP HAS BEEN HORRIBLE ABOUT PROMOTING WOMEN WITHIN THEIR PARTY!!!

Example . . . In a challenge to Rep. Sharice Davids they tried to sell the Amanda Adkins as some kind of stay-at-home mom cookie maker when, in fact, she was a brilliant lady, power player and influential consultant. Meanwhile, the Kansas GOP marketing dumbed her down and made it seem like a housewife was competing for a very serious job . . . The campaign was so insulting that it turned off voters and pretty much gave up JoCo to the Dems.

And so . . .

We like this reporting because it features a local politico doing their job outside of the spotlight:

"She almost never makes headlines. She just does the job we pay her to do — which is to regulate insurance companies to make sure Kansans get a fair shake.

"Republican Vicki Schmidt is the Kansas insurance commissioner, a position she’s held since 2018, when she left the state Senate after 14 years as a legislator.

"Hardly anyone ever writes much about Schmidt, including me. What triggered this column is that one of the most important duties of the Insurance Department is to advocate for Kansans disputing insurance company denials and underpayments.

"It’s a responsibility that Schmidt takes seriously, and it’s been paying off for Kansans, especially the last two years.

"The department recovered $11.8 million for Kansas insurance consumers in 2024, according to figures released Friday."
