"The KRA gives the Courageous Conservative award to an elected official who has stood faithfully for conservative values and principles – even when it sometimes isn’t popular. The legislator receiving the 2007 Courageous Conservative Award is a man who I believe is a shining example of a true conservative, both principled and effective, the State Representative for District 14, Lance Kinzer... Republican legislators of all stripes have come to respect Representative Kinzer’s knowledge in many areas through his quietly disarming and well-reasoned approach to issues. He has been a leader in writing and advancing legislation to reign in our courts, to protect the vulnerable and the unborn, and to hold the line on spending and taxes. His work on Jessica’s law helped to keep it from being watered down and ensured its passage. His approach with legislators is strong, principled, and articulate without being confrontational. He wins people over with his sound arguments and persuasion."

The KRA is a state wide grassroots organization of economic and social conservatives whose interests range from tax cuts, small business, and land use issues, to pro-life and pro-family concerns. For more information about the KRA visit their web-site at http://www.ks-ra.org/.
