(KAIR)--Kansas U.S. Congressman Steve Watkins is sending a message to younger Kansans during the virus pandemic, saying it’s not them, but their elders, they need to look out for.

Watkins added that while he believes it’s time to reopen the American economy, it must be done in phases, and with safety in mind; but it must happen soon.
