Every
day, elected officials make decisions that affect you,
your family, your business and your community.
The Chamber
provides a way to channel the collective voice of the
Metro Wichita business community into a powerful force
in the legislative and regulatory process. We believe
that our members are the true business experts, and
together we know we can make a difference.
Use the Chamber
as a resource to locate local, state and federal lawmakers.
From the list below, discover who represents you so
you can communicate directly with your area officials
and local media outlets.
Please review
the Chamber's adopted state
legislative policies at your leisure, and from January
through May each year, be sure to take advantage of
the Chamber's weekly
legislative update. |

| Military
Presence |
| Wichita
area military installations play an important role in
our community. In addition to being good neighbors and
helpful friends, they make a hefty contribution to our
economy...nearly one-half billion dollars last year.
Our military's presence in our community commands our
gratitude and respect.
Since 1954, McConnell Air Force Base has been a vital
part of the Wichita community. And why not? Wichita
is the Air Capital of the World. We're proud of McConnell
and the men and women who work there. Their commitment
and dedication played a considerable role in the awarding
of the new mission for McConnell AFB as the world's
largest KC-135R supertanker base.
McConnell AFB is home to the 22nd Air Refueling Wing
of the Air Mobility Command. The 931st Air Reserve Group
is at home there. Across the field is the 184th Air
Refueling Wing of the Kansas Air National Guard.
The 89th Army Regional Support Command Headquarters
has a strong presence in Wichita as well. The reservists
serve as the command post for Army Reservists in four
states. In addition, there are a number of Kansas Army
National Guard armories located in the Wichita area.
Get more information about McConnell
Air Force Base.
