Taking a defective Medicaid program and expanding it in Kansas is not a wise use of federal or state tax money. The total cost of the program is over $1.0 billion annually and over 40% of the money goes for coverage for those who ALREADY have private health insurance. Medicaid Expansion has busted multiple state budgets already! We can't afford this waste. 

The state of Kansas has an innovative program that helps poor children in schools that are in the bottom 10% of academic performance. Scholarship programs like this, plus a stronger charter school system, are a real plus for Kansas kids and parents. The results from other states show that greater school choice actually strengthens the achievement of BOTH private and public-school systems.

Kansas Government spending is at a record high in absolute terms and in relation to our GDP.  More government does not necessarily lead to a better society or a better life for Kansans.  We need systemic change in the appropriations system in Kansas to keep spending from swirling out of control.

My aim will be to serve all the people, businesses and institutions that make up the 104th District. I will tirelessly work to stay in touch and work for the good of our District.

I believe in the sanctity of life and protecting the rights of the unborn. Abortion is a sensitive issue, but the answer is certainly not allowing marginalized and defenseless preborn children to suffer or be destroyed. Any action we can take to reduce the number of abortions in Kansas is a step forward for both liberty and justice.

Kansas has more government employees per capita than 49 out of 50 states.  Big government rules and regulations are a real problem for private businesses across the state.  In 2024, I supported the REINS Act which is a step forward in curbing the regulatory state and freeing the entrepreneurial energy of Kansas businessmen and women.

The Kansas system is an outlier and one of the worst in the nation. Supreme Court Justices are selected by a committee of 9 persons, 5 of whom are lawyers chosen by the Kansas Bar Association. The Governor is then given a list of three nominees and asked to pick one. No Senate confirmation is required. This is definitely a "good old boy" system and has led to an insular and imperial court. Reform is clearly needed. The federal system of executive selection, with hearings, and then a confirmation vote by the Senate is infinitely preferable.

The right to self-defense and to bear arms is foundational to America. It should never be infringed upon.  I believe in the 2nd Amendment and have been endorsed by both the National Rifle Association (NRA) and the Kansas State Rifle Association (KSRA). 

I grew up in Reno County and believe a genuine grassroots, door-to-door outreach is the way to campaign.  I share the values of the Republican Party and the people of Hutchinson, Buhler and Inman and am open and transparent about my positions on the issues.
