About Rep. Susan Ruiz

I ran in 2018 to make sure all Kansans have a voice in our state Legislature. Thanks to your support, I had the honor of becoming one of the first two LGBT state representatives in our state’s more than 150 years of history and have been serving as a member of the Veterans & Military Committee, Social Services Budget Committee, and Children & Senior Services Committee. We have worked hard to put Kansas back on a positive track after the disastrous Brownback years. Now more than ever, we need to continue doing this important work.

Committees I Serve In

Being a social worker in the KS legislature has allowed me to be assigned to social service committees. I’m currently on the Veterans and Military committee; Social Services Budget committee and I’m ranking member on the Health and Human Services committee.

My work on those committees has also allowed me to participate on the following interim committees: Joint Committee Bob Bethel Home and Community Based Services and KanCare Oversight; Joint Committee on Child Welfare System Oversight; the Special Committee on Targeted Case Management.

Additionally, I also serve on committees that seek legislative member participation. These committees include: Employment First Steering Committee; Transition Transformers committee; KS Coordinating Council on Early Childhood Developmental Services; KS Health Information Technology Advisory Council and the Statewide Mult-Branch Communities of Practice.
