Impending cuts to Medicaid will place a burden on ALL health care providers. Our rural communities cannot afford to lose access to vital medical services. I will prioritize Medicaid expansion and will work to ensure that no Kansan goes without life-saving healthcare.

Why is a plant illegal? It's time for Kansas to catch up with our Missouri, Oklahoma, and Colorado neighbors. Every penny spent out of state, stays out of state. I support the legalization of medicinal and recreational marijuana so that Kansans can have a safe and legal access to the medicine they need.

If children are required to be somewhere, then we should be feeding ALL of them EVERY day. Taxes from the sale of legal marijuana can fund this important program. When children are well fed, they learn better.

Public education provides the necessary supports for Kansas children to build bigger and brighter futures for themselves and their future families. I will ensure Kansas public schools are fully funded so they may continue to serve our children's future.

Kansans need good job opportunities We need to support our local businesses and help them grow while also attracting new business and innovation to Kansas. We can't be afraid of the changing job market; we must face change head on. The goal is long-term stable jobs and investment in Kansas future.

Wind and Solar are fantastic resources as our need for electricity grows. We must learn from the errors made on past projects. The land owner and county must be adequately compensated, and not left with decades of unplanned costs and unforeseen complications. The energy generated should stay in and support the community - not sent to data centers in far away locations.
