Senator Jerry Moran, a U.S. Senator representing Kansas, shared updates on his recent activities and legislative efforts through several posts on social media.

On August 22, 2025, Moran highlighted his ongoing visits to healthcare facilities in Kansas. He wrote, "Continued my tour of KS hospitals at Patterson Health Clinic yesterday. I toured the facility & learned more about the health care services they provide. I always appreciate seeing firsthand the work our healthcare professionals are doing to keep Kansans safe and healthy. Thanks".

Later that day, Moran addressed issues surrounding ticket sales for major events such as the Eras Tour. He stated, "During the Eras Tour, fans encountered soaring ticket prices & limited availability largely due to ticket scalpers. Under the law established by my bill, the BOTS act, the @FTC is holding bad actors accountable for their unlawful ticket profiteering. ". The BOTS Act was designed to prevent automated software from purchasing large quantities of event tickets for resale at inflated prices.

On August 23, 2025, Moran discussed legislative progress related to veterans' healthcare: "Advancing the ACCESS Act is critical to better serving veterans, preventing veteran suicide & creating a stronger, more sustainable & efficient VA healthcare system. My legislation has been advanced by the committee, and I look forward to it becoming law."

The BOTS Act referenced by Senator Moran was enacted in 2016 with bipartisan support and empowers federal agencies like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to take action against those using bots for mass ticket purchases and resales.

The ACCESS Act mentioned in his latest post aims to improve access and quality of care within Veterans Affairs medical facilities while addressing challenges such as veteran suicide rates and systemic inefficiencies in VA operations.

Senator Jerry Moran has served as a key advocate for both consumer protections regarding event ticketing practices and improvements in healthcare services for veterans across Kansas.
