A Life of Service to Kansas

Source-published biography

Eric Jenkins was born at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas — a fitting birthplace for a man whose life would be defined by service. From the earliest days, duty and community shaped who he is. Over the decades since, he has worn many hats: soldier, combat veteran, planner, emergency management professional, local elected official, and above all, family man.

A Life of Service to Kansas

Source-published biography

Eric has served on the Shawnee City Council since 2015 and spent more than 20 years on the city's Planning Commission before that. He has been a consistent voice for fiscal restraint, opposing unnecessary spending increases and pushing back when government overreaches. That record of principled conservatism is exactly what Kansas's 3rd District needs in Congress.

Positions and priorities

A position shows what the candidate said—not FactVote's endorsement.

Each summary is supported by the candidate's own words from a campaign source, direct candidate response, or official primary record retained with the profile.

Economy, taxes, spending, and affordability

Candidate position

Washington has a spending problem — and Kansas families are paying for it through inflation, higher taxes, and a crushing national debt that threatens future generations. Eric Jenkins has spent his entire public career fighting wasteful spending at the local level, and he'll bring that same discipline to Congress.

Kansas families deserve an economy that works for them — not one burdened by over-regulation, high energy costs, and policies that ship jobs overseas. Eric will fight for pro-growth policies that keep money in Kansans' pockets.
