“I’ve taken my time to find the right words to express just how grateful I am.
From some of the hardest seasons to one filled with challenge, light, and opportunity — I’m incredibly honored to be sworn in as the USDA Rural Development State Director for Kansas.
Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey. As someone deeply rooted in rural life, I’m committed to serving the farmers, ranchers, and communities that make our state strong. Here's to this new season ahead — I’m ready and grateful to serve.”

— Gimmie Jo

My Faith being the turning point.

“All ships rise when we pour into those around us and life quickly becomes more than we could ever think, ask or imagine…”

“At last I had the authority to give directions over the whole scene. I felt as if I were walking on destiny, and that all my past life had been but a preparation for this hour and for this trial”
