There are a lot of folks out there that love the convenience of the Kansas City airport. That's one of the biggest things it's got going for it.

There is no doubt that the majority of Kansas Citians are happy with their three-terminal airport. I will advocate in Washington for our city to keep its unique airport as long as we want it.

It is key that Kansas Citians make the call as to what kind of airport they want.

I have a long history with Kansas City.

Kansas is great - and great for America, when, more and more, we honor every human life everywhere.

Our community in North Texas is fortunate to have two thriving airports. We serve millions of satisfied customers and employ hundreds of thousands of North Texans. We should not jeopardize that which is working well already.

I've been back to the Kansas City area a lot in the past. My sisters went to college in the area. My brother went to college in the area. I've got friends there, so there's some ties to the area.

Like every other place, I guess, Kansas City was quite a different city when I was a youngster there. They had quite a few clubs, and we had what we used to call jam sessions every night.

I like Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City. With the waterfall and things like that, I think it's pretty cool.

In Wichita, the district I represent, the 'Air Capital of the World,' general aviation is critical to the proper functioning of our airspace and is a key driver of economic growth, innovation, and job creation.
