Moran to address Chamber of Commerce
U.S. Rep. Jerry Moran, a Republican from Hays, will speak at 9 a.m. Tuesday to the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 N.H.
Moran represents what is known as the Big First district, which covers 69 of 105 counties in Kansas, extending from western Kansas to north-central Kansas, and reaching eastward to Nemeha, Wabaunsee, Lyon and Greenwood counties. Moran’s district does not include Lawrence.
He will be presented a “Spirit of Enterprise” award by an official from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for his support of issues seen as key to the business community.
