PRIORITIES FOR KANSAS
Clear Priorities. Real Solutions. A Stronger Kansas.
These priorities focus on practical solutions that strengthen Kansas through better education, healthier communities, economic opportunity, and accountable leadership.
Stronger Kansas Schools
Strong public schools are the foundation of healthy communities and a strong economy.
My plan focuses on restoring excellence and equity across Kansas education. We will raise teacher pay to rank in the top 25 nationally and improve benefits to attract and retain great educators. Every public school student will receive two healthy meals each day, and we’ll fully fund tuition for Kansas junior colleges and technical schools.
We’ll reduce administrative bloat, invest more in teachers and support staff, and create learning environments that set students up for real success.
Public dollars should stay in public schools—no vouchers, no privatization, and no tax breaks that pull resources away from Kansas classrooms.
