I think the greatest challenge facing our country is the growing influence of money in government. Too often, elected officials are more responsive to major donors, corporations, and special interests than to the people they represent. A healthy democracy requires that every citizen’s voice carries weight. In Congress, I would work to overturn Citizens United, ban stock trading by members of Congress, strengthen transparency requirements, and support term limits. I also support shortening campaign seasons so lawmakers can spend more time governing and less time fundraising. Government should answer to voters, not the highest bidder.
Healthcare should be accessible and affordable for every American. While I support universal coverage as a long-term goal, we must take practical steps now to expand access and lower costs. I would restore and strengthen ACA premium subsidies, reduce prescription drug prices, and work across party lines to improve areas of the Affordable Care Act that have fallen short. I am also interested in exploring a public option alongside private marketplace plans. The current system leaves too many people uninsured or struggling with high costs, and we need solutions that improve coverage, affordability, and outcomes.
Our immigration system should be secure, orderly, and humane. I would begin with the bipartisan Senate border and immigration proposal negotiated in 2024, which included faster asylum processing, additional resources for border management, and authority to address surges at the border. From there, I would work with border communities, law enforcement, employers, immigrants, and policy experts to identify improvements. Lasting reform will require practical solutions, strong border security, and a legal immigration system that reflects our nation’s economic needs while safeguarding human rights.
We must focus on lowering costs and improving affordability for working families. My priorities include restoring congressional authority over tariffs and pursuing trade policies that support Kansas farmers, manufacturers, and consumers. I also support policies that strengthen domestic energy production, reduce supply-chain disruptions, and encourage competition to help keep prices in check. Kansans feel the impact of rising costs every day—from groceries to housing to fuel—and Congress should focus on policies that increase economic opportunity and make it easier for families to get ahead.
I support legislation similar to the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. This would strengthen protections against voter discrimination, restore the "preclearance review" of certain voting-law changes in jurisdictions with a history of voter discrimination, and increase transparency by requiring significant election law changes to be publicly announced well before elections. We can protect election integrity while also ensuring every eligible American has a fair opportunity to participate in our democracy.
See my response to question one above.
We can protect Second Amendment rights while taking commonsense steps to reduce gun violence. I support expanding background checks, strengthening laws that keep firearms out of the hands of dangerous individuals--including domestic abusers-- and increasing funding for gun violence prevention research. I am also open to measures such as a national red flag framework, regulation of assault-style weapons, banning ghost guns, and improving accountability throughout the firearms industry. The goal is to reduce preventable tragedies while respecting responsible gun ownership.
