Introducing our Guest Speakers!
Rep. Brooklynne Mosley
Rep. Brooklynne Mosley is an East Lawrence resident who works at GPS Impact as a Vice President of Mobilization and Advocacy. She volunteers and serves on local, regional, and statewide boards in her free time.
Brooklynne is originally from Kansas City and lived in Waldo until she was 9-years-old. She is the oldest child and grew up with a large extended maternal family. Her father's work eventually moved her family to Queens, New York, and South Suburban Chicago, Illinois.
While living in Illinois, Brooklynne got her first job working at her paternal grandmother Verdella's floral business around 14-years-old. Working with her grandma taught her a lot about how hard small business owners had to work to be successful.
Brooklynne joined the United States Air Force and enlisted as an aircrew member on the KC-10 aircraft. She deployed during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. She separated in 2013 and moved to Lawrence to attend the University of Kansas.
Since moving to Lawrence, Brooklynne has been involved with political and community organizing. She was elected to the Kansas House to represent District 46 (parts of Lawrence) in 2024, and has sponsored bills to support female health equity, raise the minimum wage for employees that receive tips and gratuities, and support access to breast cancer screening.
