State Representative Lonnie Clark, Junction City, wants to see a third brigade of soldiers brought to Fort Riley in the future.

Clark will chair the Veterans Military Committee in the Kansas House in the 2019 legislative session.

“I want to see us get more involved with Fort Riley, Junction City and Manhattan and see if we can’t get that third brigade. That would be the thing that would be most prevalent on my mind, anyway. We need that, we’re good partners with Fort Riley, they’re good partners with us,” he said. “I see it expanding and just trying to get more involvement from both communities in bringing this all together.”

Clark believes he has the support of the remainder of the committee.

“I’m happy to be the chair of that committee. I wanted it last term and really pushed hard for it this term. So I’m excited about it,” he said.

Clark aired on his comments during the JC Now program on 107.9 FM / 1420 KJCK Wednesday morning. He represents the 65th District in the Kansas House.
