Martin Hawver is the editor and publisher of Hawver’s Capitol Report, the respected, non-partisan news service that reports on Kansas government and politics.

Hawver is the dean of the Kansas Statehouse press corps, having covered the beat 35 years—longer than any other current Statehouse reporters.

Hawver covered the Statehouse for the Topeka Capital-Journal for 17 years, leaving the newspaper in 1993 to become co-owner of Hawver News Company, a business started two years earlier by his wife, Vickie Griffith Hawver, a former Capital-Journal reporter and editor.

Hawver has covered 35 Kansas legislative sessions and 12 national Republican and Democratic political conventions, plus countless statewide and local political conventions.
