Probably more than almost any other member of the Kansas Senate, Oletha personally knows HUNDREDS of her constituents -- and has spent a lifetime sharing in their hopes and fears, disappointments and joys, hardships and successes, struggles and victories. College-educated-- but even more educated by hard experience -- middle-class Oletha brings a clear grasp of the needs of REAL people to the often out-of-touch "country club" culture of the Kansas Senate. Small wonder, then, that Democrats and Republicans, alike, frequently turn to her for guidance and support in developing issues with a human touch -- from childcare to law-enforcement.
