Senator Kerr: From farm boy to Kansas Senate power broker
Dave Kerr built a finance and policy career in Kansas politics after farm roots in Pratt County. A Republican representing Reno County since 1984 he chairs the Ways and Means Committee and wields major control over state spending while claiming to prioritize public policy over politics. He and his brother Fred Kerr both followed into the Senate and emphasize disciplined spending over leadership titles.
