Baldwin representative seeking re-election

State Rep. Tom Holland filed Tuesday for re-election in the 10th District.

The Democrat from Baldwin is seeking his second term.

“My focus will continue to be on K-12 education, protecting and growing Kansas jobs, and addressing small-business issues,” Holland said in a press release.

He is president of Holland Technologies, an information-technology consulting firm. He serves on the House Education and Health and Human Services committees and the Select Committee on Kansas Security. He also is advisory board co-chairman of the Kansas Small Business Development Center.

In 2003 Holland co-authored the freshman revenue plan that provided additional funding for Kansas public schools and social service programs.
