Call or email your State Representative and urge him or her to SUPPORT HB 2195. You can look up who represents you in the House HERE (see left navigation bar, "Find Your Legislator" drop down menu; under "Chamber," select "House.").
Remember, calls are far more effective than emails, and they can take just a couple of minutes! Keep your call or email short, polite, and clear—you can simply give your name, identify yourself as a constituent, and ask the Representative to SUPPORT the bill. If you have time, add a sentence or two about why this issue is important to you. See More Information, below, for some talking points that you can use.

House Bill (HB) 2195 would exempt farm products sold at farmers’ markets from sales tax. This bill would be a win for farmers’ market shoppers as well as small farmers, bakers, and local food producers who sell at farmers’ markets.
You can read the bill and check its status HERE.
Talking Points:
- The most important talking point is how this bill would affect YOU. Why do you want taxes to be exempt at Kansas farmers’ markets? Are you a farmers’ market shopper? Are you a farmer, baker, or food producer who sells at farmers’ markets?
- If passed, the bill would help promote local foods, helping farmers while stimulating the local economy. Consumers could pay less, without cutting into the narrow profit margins of small farmers and local food producers.
