Humboldt is getting its brand out. In response to comments from a New York City mayor that his city has more of a brand than the state of Kansas, a US Senator recognized Humboldt’s achievements Wednesday on the Senate floor. “I had planned to give this floor speech before the mayor of New York City used Kansas as a punchline, but now it seems a little more fitting,” Sen. Jerry Moran said. Moran’s remarks came with the presentation of the Building Better Communities award to the city of Humboldt. Comments by New York City mayor Eric Adams during an overseas trip drew pushback Tuesday from Kansans, including from actor Eric Stonestreet. The Kansas Office of Tourism has invited Adams to the Sunflower State.
