CONSERVATIVE LEADERSHIP

Welcome to my website! I hope you’ll take some time to look around, reach out with any questions you might have, and get involved. Together, we can take conservative leadership back to Topeka.

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!

I'm grateful to see President Trump take on one of the biggest drivers of higher prescription drug costs: abuses within the 340B program.A program created to help vulnerable patients has too often become a profit center for large hospital systems. The administration's proposed reforms would put guardrails in place to ensure more of those savings are passed on to patients and help the rural hospitals that rely on the program, not absorbed through excessive markups for big hospital profits. The proposal is estimated to save Medicare patients more than $1 billion in the first year alone.I've been sounding the alarm on the 340B program for years. It's encouraging to see the administration taking meaningful steps to refocus the program on the people it was intended to serve.President Trump and his administration deserve thanks for putting patients ahead of Big Hospital profits.

ICYMI: I recently shared my thoughts on why I believe it's time to give Kansans a voice in selecting the justices who serve on our state's highest court.For too long, a small commission dominated by attorneys has determined who advances to the Kansas Supreme Court. I believe that power belongs with the people of Kansas, not unelected insiders.If you haven't had a chance to read it, I hope you'll take a few minutes before Election Day. This Tuesday, Kansans have an opportunity to restore the voting rights we once had. Vote YES.

Our current Supreme Court retention system offers voters little opportunity to evaluate a justice's record. Without contested elections, forums, or meaningful public discussion, there's no real accountability to the population they serve. As the author writes, real elections create greater public scrutiny and give voters more information about the people seeking to serve on the bench.On August 4, Kansans have the opportunity to bring greater transparency to the process and restore our voice in the process. Vote Yes!

One of the best parts of campaigning is getting to travel across Kansas, stop in communities big and small, and meet Kansans in their hometowns.Yesterday, I had the chance to spend some time at the Abilene Rodeo. It was nice visiting with folks, enjoying a great Kansas tradition, and making a few memories along the way.Thank you to everyone who took the time to stop and say hello. I always appreciate the opportunity to hear what's on your mind and look forward to seeing many more communities as the campaign continues.

Kansans are smart enough to govern ourselves, weigh the issues, and choose the best people to serve them. We trust voters to elect governors, legislators, and even judges across much of our state. There is no reason to believe they suddenly become incapable when it comes to the Kansas Supreme Court.As this piece points out, Kansas elected its Supreme Court justices for the first century of our state's history. We didn't suddenly become less capable in the last few decades.Trust Kansans. Vote YES on August 4.
