1997 Rep. Peggy Palmer, R-Augusta, hasn't been afraid to get her feet wet during her freshman year. When the people of the 77th District elected Peggy Palmer, R-Augusta, to represent them in the Kansas House, they knew they were sending a fighter to Topeka. A realtor from Augusta, Palmer's spot on the House Taxation Committee has seemed a natural position in light of her philosophy towards government spending and taxation. Would I impose it on my family and friends, because if it does, it imposes on the people of Kansas. It robs people of their rights and ability to be self-sufficient.
Government needs to get smaller and more efficient.
That will give our children a better future. Palmer has also been appointed to serve on the House Taxation Committee and House Environment Committee. She is currently serving her first term as State Representative for the 77th District that covers southern third of Butler County. Palmer represents a handful of lawmakers that were present for every vote cast on the House floor. In a typical year, over five hundred votes are cast in the House of Representatives during the five-month session.
