DONALD BETTS
When he was a
child, Donald, his mother
and his brother were homeless several times until they moved to
Las Vegas where his grandfather offered them
a place to stay. While in junior high and high school, Donald lived in that
city’s projects which were filled with violence, drugs and prostitution. He
attended school and worked in
casino arcades to support his family. He saw his school friends succumb to
drugs and crime. His brother eventually spent time in prison. After Donald
graduated from high school, he returned to Wichita
where he worked his way through college at Friends University, and was
elected student body president. Upon graduation, he became a counselor for
at-risk juveniles working in both the juvenile justice and Wichita public
school systems. He has served his state legislative districts in the
Kansas House and Senate. |
