Issues

I am unabashedly pro-life; every life is a soul made in God’s image with innate value. I also believe there is so much opportunity to lift up the value and sanctity of motherhood!

I believe that society functions best when underpinned by the family unit and too often our culture ignores this.

Almost everyone I’ve spoken to has felt the pinch year-over-year of our increasing tax burden. I counted 11 separate taxing authorities on my property tax statement! There are too many entities stripping our wallets clean without any effective pushback. I will support standardized auditing and legislation requiring greater transparency for how our tax dollars are being spent at every level of government.

American history is intertwined with entrepreneurship and it is important for our state to maintain policies that facilitate growth and innovation in the private sector. It is important for our government leaders (at all levels) to remember their diminished role in a free market. They are not there to pick winners and losers, but to maintain reasonable, minimal regulation.

Our Law Enforcement Officers are absolutely vital to our quality of life. They preserve our safety, our property and our communities. I stand with our local law enforcement entities and will fight to see that they have access to the resources they need.

As a foster and adoptive parent, I’ve witnessed firsthand the need for good foster families in Kansas. I want to work to establish better outcomes for our foster children and achieve permanency in a more timely manner.
