About Lauren

Source-published biography

Committed to ensuring government functions well, Lauren planned to continue a long career in federal government administration. Unfortunately, her plans changed when DOGE cut SSA programs, slashed people-centered initiatives across the government, and eliminated thousands of jobs within her agency. Lauren reluctantly resigned from SSA, deciding she could make a greater impact outside the government by advocating for the retention and restoration of crucial programs that benefit Kansas families. She raised her family in Lawrence and is proud to call Kansas home.

Immigration and border security

It’s time for common-sense immigration reform that secures our borders while providing a fair path to citizenship for those already contributing to our communities. By fixing backlogged courts and stabilizing our agricultural workforce, we can replace a broken system with one that prioritizes humane enforcement and the dignity of every family.
