On April 14, 2026, Hawkins expressed appreciation for community engagement during the legislative session. He stated, “I’m grateful for the advocates who showed up, spoke out, and stood firm this session. And I’m proud to help deliver wins that protect life, defend religious freedom, and fight for policies on top of mind for Kansas families.”
The following day, on April 15, 2026, Hawkins addressed concerns about financial exploitation targeting older Kansans. In his post he wrote: “Scammers are getting more sophisticated, and too often seniors are the ones being targeted. That’s why this new law matters. It adds real protections against financial exploitation and cracks down on emerging scams before more Kansans lose their hard-earned savings.

On April 16, 2026, Hawkins promoted HB 2043 as a measure intended to address rising property taxes in Kansas. He posted: “HB 2043 gives taxpayers a way to fight back against skyrocketing property taxes. We’re almost across the finish line on real property tax relief for your family. Only one person stands between you and the relief that we all need. Tell Laura Kelly: It’s time to sign HB 2043 and” HB 2043 is a legislative proposal designed to provide property tax relief by introducing mechanisms for taxpayer advocacy regarding tax increases.
These posts reflect current legislative debates in Kansas over issues such as consumer protection from scams—particularly those affecting seniors—and efforts aimed at providing property tax relief through pending legislation.
