As a candidate for the Senate in the 24th District, I am committed to safeguarding and enhancing the future of our public education system. The recent 6.6 billion allocation to K-12 public schools, including a crucial 75 million boost for special education, marks a significant step forward. However, we must remain vigilant against efforts to undermine our progress. Fully funding our schools is a legal and moral obligation. The 75 million for special education is vital, but it's just the beginning. We must push for additional funding to ensure the state covers 92% of the extra costs for special education, relieving local districts from financial burdens. Our work is far from over. Recent proposals by some Republican lawmakers threaten to permanently underfund special education by using faulty calculations. We must maintain and increase our investments in public education to ensure every child in Kansas has access to high-quality education. As your senator, I pledge to continue fighting for the resources our public schools need. Learn more
As a candidate for the Senate seat in the 24th district of Kansas, I firmly support expanding Medicaid. This expansion is not just a policy decision; it is a moral imperative. We must act now to ensure that all Kansans have access to the affordable healthcare they deserve. By expanding Medicaid, we can prevent further loss of life, support our rural hospitals, and create a healthier, more equitable Kansas. I pledge to fight for Medicaid expansion and to prioritize the health and welfare of all Kansans. It's time to put people over politics and ensure that no one in our state dies because they cannot afford the care they need. Learn more
