Another event completed for 2026 Junior Miss Wheelchair Kansas, Annaliese (AJ). AJ and her mentor, Ms. Wheelchair Kansas, Magda, visited the Capitol in Topeka, Kansas on Thursday, May 21, 2026, and spoke to Mr. Mike Priner, Director of Policy for Senate President Ty Masterson.
The conversation centered around challenges that wheelchair users experience and how our State Legislatures can help. Many examples were shared and possible solutions were discussed. The meeting was positive and both Magda & AJ expressed interest in testifying about their lived experiences when bills come forth as they pertain to anything impacting wheelchair users and any other disability issue.
It was a great day for advocacy work and both AJ and Magda did a super job communicating and showing passion for being in a leadership role that allows them to make a difference for so many.
