Conservative first

Unchecked government expansion limits our freedom as individuals and hinders the growth of the businesses our state’s economy relies on to thrive. Kansans from all walks of life are impacted in very real ways and I am dedicated to standing up for people just like you. During my time in office, I have worked to limit bureaucratic intervention in our day-to-day lives and make government more efficient. I believe in the importance of defending life, strengthening the family, and protecting our most cherished rights. I will continue fighting for you in Topeka.

Join the effort!

Campaigns take work. So does governing. Our state needs leadership that understands our communities and puts Kansas first. As Majority Leader, I worked to achieve many things for Kansans and voters showed their support for our efforts by sending another Republican supermajority back to the Kansas House. But the work goes on. As Speaker of the House, I need your help to share our current successes and future goals with our neighbors. Together, we can ensure that Kansas continues to be a great place to live, work, and raise a family!

That’s a system that needed fixing.House Republicans understand that guardrails are absolutely essential to both protecting taxpayer dollars and ensuring that services can continue for those who truly need them. We successfully fought veto after veto from Gov Kelly in order to add accountability where needed and strengthen confidence in Kansas' safety net programs.

I had a great stop in Garnett yesterday speaking with the Anderson County GOP.We talked about my campaign for Insurance Commissioner and the work ahead to lower costs, increase transparency, and make the insurance system easier for Kansans to navigate. We also discussed what House Republicans accomplished this session, including our push for real property tax relief and the need for the Governor to sign HB 2043 into law.I appreciate the thoughtful discussion and the chance to hear directly from folks in the community!

Kansas is still working to recover millions in unemployment overpayments. This is a clear example of why transparency and oversight matter. Without them, problems grow and taxpayers are left footing the bill.Now we can see why the Governor vetoes any bill that shines light on programs she's supposed to run. We fight each and every year to strengthen accountability with checks and balances that put taxpayers back in control and ensure that these programs function how they expect. Because at the end of the day, this is your money and you deserve good and responsible stewardship.

There was a great turnout in Lakin with folks ready to fight for a judiciary that answers to the people, not a handful of insiders and attorneys! We had a strong conversation about our constitutional amendment to give Kansans a voice in selecting Supreme Court justices. Right now, a small group makes those decisions behind closed doors. This reform would bring that process into the open and make the court more accountable to the people they serve.Make sure to vote YES on August 4th!
