Salina, Kans. -- Republican J.R. Claeys, Kansas Secretary of State candidate, released his first TV ad over the weekend. The ad titled "Kansas" describes J.R.'s Kansas roots, as well as his work in small business advocacy and elections.
"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.
