Learn where I stand on the issues
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!

Last weekend, I joined Congressman Ron Estes, fellow candidates, and a great group of volunteers for the opening of the new campaign headquarters.It was great visiting with everyone and seeing so many folks engaged and ready for the weeks ahead. Thank you to Congressman Estes, his team, and the Sedgwick County GOP for putting in the work to allow us to win up and down the ballot this November!
The race for Insurance Commissioner presents Kansans with a clear choice when it comes to experience.I've spent more than 30 years helping Kansans understand their insurance, ensuring families and businesses can navigate their coverage, claims, rising costs, and an increasingly complicated marketplace.The Insurance Commissioner shouldn't have to learn the insurance business after taking office. Kansans deserve someone who understands it from day one.Experience matters, and I'm ready to get to work.

Frustration is an understatement. This is an outrage.The Legislature put the funding in place and enacted clear limits on the I/DD waitlist into law. Instead of meeting those requirements, the waitlist has surged to more than 5,300 Kansans while millions of dollars intended to provide services were redirected elsewhere.These are not numbers on a spreadsheet. These are Kansans who are struggling and families who have already spent years waiting for help.January can’t come soon enough. We need competent leadership to get us back on the right track.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to join business leaders with the Kansas Chamber to discuss the experience and priorities I'll bring to the Kansas Insurance Department next year.We had a great conversation about rising insurance costs, strengthening competition, reducing unnecessary regulatory burdens, and ensuring Kansas remains a great place to do business.After more than 30 years helping Kansans navigate their insurance coverage, I'm the only candidate ready to hit the ground running fighting for Kansans on day one. Thank you to the Kansas Chamber for the invitation and thoughtful discussion.
This week, I was glad to join the Northwest Johnson County Republicans and discuss the importance of the race for Insurance Commissioner.It was a great opportunity to answer questions, hear what's on people's minds, and share more about my background and experience that separates me from my opponent and ensures I can hit the ground running on day one in office.There's a lot at stake this November, but engaged citizen groups like this understand the weight and do the work required to win at home. Thank you for the invitation and for the warm welcome!
