During the news conference at the Capitol, the Democrat said she wouldnt be blinded by partisan loyalties when making appointments to the Cabinet and other key positions in the executive branch.
It will be diverse, dynamic and highly skilled, Kelly said. People who know what theyre doing. Highly-skilled people will be our No. 1 choice. We need really top-notch managers.

The Topeka state senator, who will be inaugurated in January, said she would issue an executive order soon after taking office to reverse decisions by Gov. Jeff Colyer and former Gov. Sam Brownback to withhold employment discrimination protection from gay, lesbian and transgender state workers. The job protection was established by Gov. Kathleen Sebelius in 2007, but removed by Brownback in 2015.

In terms of public education, Kelly said, the state would no longer get by just doing the minimum. We will truly invest in our childrens future. The state has been mired in years of school-finance litigation resulting in decisions by the Kansas Supreme Court to compel infusion of more than $500 million into public education.
------
Kelly said her administration would collaborate on a plan to expand eligibility for Medicaid to reach thousands of Kansans lacking access to health care. Brownback vetoed a Medicaid expansion bill, and Colyer opposed expansion efforts.
------
Complexities of repairing Brownback-era policy on health care, education, taxes, transportation, foster care, adoption, corrections and other areas would be a long and challenging process, she said.
