Source TrailBackgroundWho They Are
Kelly Ancar was added after the state roster audit found her on the Kansas SOS 2026 Primary list for State Board of Education District 5. Hays Post profiles from her Hays city commission and USD 489 school board campaigns identify her as a Hays small-business owner and registered nurse who owns Amazing Grace Home Care and the Horseshoe Bar and Grill. Her prior local questionnaires are relevant because they give direct statements on school governance, spending, transparency, property taxes, and business conditions.
