I’m a fourth-generation Kansan with deep roots in our state’s soil and values. I grew up throwing hay, chasing cattle, and learning life’s lessons in the classroom and on the football field. My family is made up of farmers, public school teachers, and working folks who believe in showing up, telling the truth, and doing what’s right — even when it’s hard.

 

I wasn’t born into politics. I built a life, a family, and a career in the real world. I’ve seen what good public schools can do for a kid with grit but not much else. I’ve seen how small towns rally when someone’s barn burns or when a neighbor gets sick. That’s Kansas. And that’s worth fighting for.

 

I’m running for Governor not because I need the job — but because I believe the job needs someone like me. Someone who knows this state, loves this state, and won’t forget who they work for. I believe in strong public schools, growing our local economy, and protecting personal freedoms. I’m not here to play party politics. I’m here to lead — with common sense, straight talk, and Kansas values.
