SUBJECT QUOTE
"The decision to grant a pardon is a serious one," Governor Laura Kelly said. "A thorough vetting and review process determines individuals considered for pardons have indeed made amends for their actions and have been consistent in positively contributing to society and to their community. Individuals who have long maintained their law-abiding behavior and positive community impact, have earned the second chance a pardon can provide."
