Senator Jerry Moran, representing Kansas in the U.S. Senate and a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, recently posted a series of updates on social media highlighting his engagement with agricultural groups and congratulating a former intern.

On July 16, 2025, Moran wrote about his meeting with Kansas Corn: "Great meeting with @kscorn! We discussed issues important to corn growers & my work on @SenateAgGOP. From biofuels to animal feed & food products, our corn growers support many industries. I appreciate KS Corn's work to support our producers."

The following day, July 17, 2025, he recognized the efforts of Kansas FFA: ".@KansasFFA is shaping the next generation of leaders and preparing students for successful careers. I enjoyed meeting with KS FFA officers and learning about their experience representing KS on a national level & how FFA has impacted them. Thanks for stopping by!"

Later that same day, Moran extended congratulations to Ryan Kriegshauser: "Congratulations to my former intern, Ryan Kriegshauser, on his nomination to be U.S. Attorney for Kansas. I know Ryan to be someone who embodies true Kansas values and is dedicated to public service and justice. I look forward to supporting his nomination."

Moran’s focus on agriculture aligns with his longstanding role as a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, where he has advocated for policies supporting farmers and rural communities. The Kansas Corn Growers Association represents corn producers across the state, advocating for legislative priorities such as biofuels development and market expansion.

The Future Farmers of America (FFA) is an organization that promotes leadership development among youth interested in agriculture-related careers. Moran’s acknowledgment reflects ongoing efforts within Kansas to prepare students for roles in agriculture and public service.

Ryan Kriegshauser’s nomination as U.S. Attorney for Kansas comes at a time when federal prosecutorial appointments are closely watched for their impact on law enforcement priorities within the state.
