THE PLATFORM
Clear Priorities. Real Solutions. A Stronger Kansas.
This campaign is built on practical ideas that strengthen Kansas from the ground up—starting with education, health, and economic opportunity.
Rebuilding Kansas Education
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.

Building a Stronger Kansas Economy
Kansas shouldn’t have to chase business—we should build the kind of place businesses want to be part of.
Kansas shouldn’t have to chase business—we should build the kind of place businesses want to be part of.
Our central location already puts us at the crossroads of American commerce. But what truly sets us apart isn’t geography—it’s our priorities. When Kansas leads in education, when our communities are healthier, and when our workforce is skilled and supported, we become a destination—not a negotiation.
It’s time to stop giving away massive tax breaks to out-of-state corporations. Instead, we invest in what actually drives long-term growth: strong schools, a capable workforce, and thriving local communities.
That’s how Kansas becomes a magnet for innovation—not by chasing companies, but by building a state worth joining.

A stronger Kansas requires smart investment, clear accountability, and leadership that puts people first.
