Governor Laura Kelly, in accordance with Executive Order #20-30, has ordered flags in Finney, Grant, Hamilton, Kearny, Morton, Stanton, Stevens, Haskell, Greeley, and Wichita counties will be flown at half-staff from sunrise to sunset on Sunday, January 4, 2026, to honor former Kansas Senate President Steve Morris.

“From his time serving our country in the United States Air Force, to his years of service on the Hugoton Board of Education and tenure as President of the Kansas State Senate, Steve Morris was a principled and pragmatic leader,” Governor Laura Kelly said. “His commonsense and commitment moved Kansas forward. My deepest condolences go out to his family and loved ones.”
