Yes
I’m the current state representative in the 113th district. I serve on the Water and Agriculture Committees in Topeka, committees that are important to our rural way of life. I believe that I’m the candidate in this race who best represents our conservative, rural values.
I intend to address property tax reform by pushing for repealing the state 20 mill property tax and paying for it by repealing 1 million of the total 8 million worth of sales tax exemptions that exist.
I’ve introduced legislation to limit eminent domain and push for more due process protections for property owners.
Preserving water in Kansas is important, and my role on the water committee is important in addressing that issue. I support voluntary conservation efforts like LEMA’s and WCA’s.
I’m entirely opposed to the gut and go process. I would vote to do away with that entirely. Not changing the content of bills through the gut and go process would go a long ways in making it easier for Kansas citizens to follow bills.
I have voted for some bills that tighten election laws in Kansas, because I believe that’s what the majority of my constituents support. However, I believe our elections are secure in Kansas, and I would oppose major changes to our election laws such as banning mail in voting. I believe that older and disabled voters must have the option of voting by mail.
