(KAIR)--A visit from the new Lt. Governor of Kansas.
That happened Saturday as Tracey Mann made stops throughout northeast Kansas.
Beginning the morning in Marysville, Mann then traveled to Seneca and Sabetha, and then to Atchison, where his arrival was met by a crowd at the downtown Sunflower coffee shop. “There's nothing that I love more than traveling around, meeting with Kansans, hearing what their concerns are, what their needs are, and just getting to know what's happening in all of our communities. I think people are excited for our new Governor, I think people are excited for the bright days ahead."
Meeting individually with those in attendance, which included city and county leaders, as well as members of the community, Mann also gave a brief, informal address.
The Salina businessman, told the attendees that among the goals of new Kansas Governor Jeff Colyer, is managing the state like a business. "Day one he created a new position, basically the COO of the state, and put someone in that position. It's just in our conversations, in our meetings, he's just business minded...and that's kind of the focus moving forward."
From Atchison, Mann then traveled to Wyandotte and Leavenworth counties for late afternoon and early evening stops on Saturday.
Mann was named as Lt. Governor by Governor Colyer on February 13.
