(KAIR)--Flags fly at half-staff across Kansas, as the state remembers the work of State Representative Gail Finney.

The Kansas Democratic Party Saturday morning announced that the Wichita Democrat had died at the age of 63.

Her cause of death is not yet made public.

WIBW-TV reports that In 2022, Finney announced that she would not seek re-election to what would have been her eighth term serving the people of Kansas.

Finney had served the Sunflower State in her official capacity since 2009. She was also a small business owner in the Wichita area.

On Saturday, Kansas Governor Laura Kelly ordered flags to be lowered to half-staff immediately until the day of internment in honor of Finney, who Kelly calls “a warrior,” saying, in a release, that “no one fought harder for her constituents, for her community, for justice and equity than Representative Gail Finney.”
