Senator Pat Roberts has dedicated his career in public service to the people of Kansas.

A review of Senator Roberts’ impact on Kansas and the country is broad and all-encompassing, from bringing new jobs to the state to authoring laws that impact millions of Americans in support of farming and ranching; from growing missions at Kansas’ military facilities in support of national security to helping Kansas residents rebuild after natural disasters; from championing access to health care in rural communities to passing tax reform that allows Americans to keep more of the money they earn.

Senator Roberts is the only member of the current Kansas delegation to serve as chairman of two powerful Senate committees in his career. From 2003-2006, he chaired the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and, in 2015, he became chairman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry.

In looking back, we find that career accomplishments don’t neatly fit into annual recaps. In fact, it’s Senator Roberts’ sustained, dogged and relentless efforts over many years that have led to some of his most significant achievements in the state. The National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility was a 16year labor that will bring new jobs and more than $2 billion to the Kansas economy over the next ten years.

While Senator Roberts’ representation includes eight terms in the House of Representatives as Congressman to the Big First Congressional District, this report focuses on the highlights of his Senate career from 1997 to the present.

The motto of the State of Kansas is Ad Astra per Aspera, “to the stars through difficulty.” Senator Roberts has made that his guiding principle. While our nation has faced many challenges, he has never once let that stop his pursuit of the best for the people of Kansas and the country.
