Kansas State Senator Scott Hill of District 24 is coming to Kansas Wesleyan University this weekend to host a Town Hall community meeting.

Senator Hill, a farmer from Dickinson County, came into office on June 16, 2025. Representative Steven Howe, a Salina local, nominated Senator Hill to replace Senator J.R. Claeys during a special election, winning 67-59 according to the Sunflower State Journal. Today, Senator Hill is at work in the state congress but will return from Topeka this weekend to speak with his district.

Meet Senator Hill

This Saturday morning, February 21, at 10 A.M., Senator Hill will hold his Town Hall meeting at Fitzpatrick Auditorium in Sam’s Hall of Fine Arts. This event is open to the public, and it provides the community with an opportunity to meet the man representing Salina in the State Senate. In the past, Senator Hill attended Saline County and city meetings. These allowed his voters more chances to get to know him. Now that the state senate is in session, this is the perfect chance for his voting base to engage with him and talk about their concerns and needs. He plans on discussing his policies on local economies, jobs, and education.

Senator Hill encourages Kansas Wesleyan University students to attend. Senator Hill is no stranger to KWU or its students. In the past, Senator Hill met with KWU students and invited them to attend meetings within the community. This effort aims to encourage more youth to engage in politics. Together, Senator Hill and his wife strive to build connections. Members of the Students for Life program already met the couple during a community meeting. There, the KWU students made connections with the community and garnered support for their activities. Senator Hill is looking forward to meeting any KWU students and community members who are willing to attend.
