Values. Experience. Results.

Reduce Government Regulation & Spending

I supported a bill to rein in regulatory overreach by requiring that the legislature approve any regulation that imposes costs of more than $1 million. I also voted for several bills to give Kansans a substantial tax break. Next session, I will work to rein in spending and give taxpayers substantial property and income tax relief.

Provide the Best Education

I supported a bill to give parents greater input into their children’s education. I supported a bill to give parents of at-risk kids and kids in failing schools the option to provide their kids better educational opportunities in parochial or private schools. The Governor vetoed both bills.

Protect Children

I was a vocal advocate for a bill that eliminated the criminal statute of limitations for sexual abuse of children and extended by an additional 10 years the civil statute of limitations for claims against perpetrators and those institutions that enable abuse, and I supported a bill that would prohibit prescribing puberty blockers to children for the purpose of gender change and would ban medical professionals from child mutilation surgeries to “reassign” gender.

“It is a distinct honor to be your voice in Topeka. I will continue to fight for your freedom, security and prosperity! The state motto is Ad Aspera per Aspera, or, To the stars through hardship. Working together and working hard, we will bring Kansas to the stars making it a beacon of hope in these troubled times.”
