Salina, Kans. -- Republican J.R. Claeys, Kansas Secretary of State candidate, is sharing his ideas for how he can improve the Secretary of State's office in cities and towns across Kansas through Election Day on August 3rd. Claeys is meeting with supporters to discuss cutting red tape for small businesses and securing our vote with photo voter identification at the polls.
"It is important that we have a Secretary of State that has experience with the issues that affect small businesses," said Claeys. "In these tough economic times we don't need to create more hurdles for businesses that we are counting on to be job creators."

As the CEO of a national business association, Claeys advocated for reducing the regulatory and paperwork burden placed on small businesses across America.
Claeys is a certified international elections observer with experience securing polling places with voter identification and registration security procedures that protect the integrity of the ballot.
"Our next Secretary of State will be charged with implementing voter identification procedures," said Claeys. "Kansans need a chief elections officer with experience putting these procedures into practice on the ground."
J.R. is currently covering the state, visiting with grassroots supporters, county officials, chambers and civic organizations on his campaign tour. Since June, Claeys has visited Dodge City, Garden City, Hays, Topeka, Overland Park, Leavenworth, Mound City, Newton, Wichita, Hiawatha, Parsons, Independence, Coffeyville, Winfield, Wellington, Ark City, El Dorado, McPherson, Marion, Clay Center, Concordia, Beloit, Oakley, Colby, Goodland, Russell, Great Bend, Marysville, Washington, Belleville, Council Grove, Herington, Junction City, Seneca, Abilene, Minneapolis, Ellsworth, Pittsburg, Ft.

Claeys continues his campaign in Liberal, Ulysses, Lakin, Leavenworth, Lansing, Atchison, Manhattan, Strong City and Melvern with more stops planned through Election Day on August 3rd.
"If elected I'll cut red tape for small businesses and run fair and secure elections in Kansas," said Claeys.
