In her third term, she was appointed as the House Insurance Committee Chairman, (2002 -2004).
As the Insurance Committee Chairman, Patricia worked to reform healthcare for Kansans by moving through her committee and getting passed the Health Savings Account Act and the Model Credit Score Act. She also wrote and pushed through legislation for the Student Self Medication Act. Lightner’s reputation and votes in the Kansas House reflect a pro-growth, pro-family and pro-liberty record.
