(KNZA)-- A White Cloud woman has been appointed to Governor Kelly's Commission on Racial Equity and Justice.
Kelly announced Friday the appointment of Elyse Towey to the 14-member commission.
Kelly issued an executive order in June creating the commission.
According to a release from the Governor's office, the Commission will study racial equity and justice in Kansas, and hold listening sessions with Kansans across the state with experience and expertise in the topic.
The release says the Commission will make recommendations to the Governor, the Legislature, and local governments on concrete and immediate steps that can be taken to increase racial equity and justice in the state.
The governor promised her administration would tackle such issues following George Floyd’s death May 25 in Minnesota.
