Economy, taxes, spending, and affordability

Everyone who works hard and plays by the rules deserves the opportunity to earn a good living and build a secure future.

Education and workforce development
Candidate positionMy ValuesNo family should endure the heartbreak of gun violence, whether it’s in schools, neighborhoods, or even at celebrations like the Super Bowl parade in Kansas City. Tragedies like these remind us of the urgent need for common-sense, bipartisan gun safety measures that keep our kids and communities safe while respecting responsible gun ownership. I’m committed to ensuring local law enforcement have the resources and training necessary to reduce gun violence and protect lives, so every family can feel secure in their community.

Health care and public health
Candidate positionMy ValuesHealth care is a right, not a privilege, and every Kansan deserves access to affordable, high-quality care. That means protecting and strengthening the Affordable Care Act, expanding Medicaid, and lowering the cost of prescription drugs so families don’t have to choose between their health and financial stability. I’m dedicated to closing gaps in coverage and ensuring that rural and underserved communities have access to the care they need. Mental health must also be treated as a priority, fully integrated into our health care system and destigmatized. By focusing on affordability and accessibility, we can build a system that puts people first and ensures every Kansan has the opportunity to live a healthy life.

Economy, taxes, spending, and affordability
Candidate positionMy ValuesInfrastructure touches every aspect of our daily lives — especially in the Kansas City metro area, which is home to several major transportation and shipping hubs. Whether it’s the roads we drive on, the bridges we cross, or the water we drink, these investments directly impact our quality of life. As a member of the U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I believe in modernizing outdated infrastructure to support growth, improve safety, and enhance accessibility for all Kansans. Infrastructure investments also create good-paying jobs and lay the groundwork for future economic development. This is all why I voted for the bipartisan infrastructure law, which the U.S. Chamber of Commerce called it the most fiscally responsible infrastructure bill in at least a decade.

Economy, taxes, spending, and affordability
Candidate positionMy ValuesGrowing up with a single mom, I understand how hard families work to make ends meet. That’s why I’m focused on lowering costs for everyday essentials, creating good-paying jobs, and ensuring fiscal responsibility in government spending. I believe we need to keep a close eye on our country’s debt, cut wasteful spending wherever possible, and hold billion-dollar corporations and the top 1 percent accountable by closing tax loopholes. Fiscal responsibility and fairness must go hand in hand as we build an economy that works for everyone.

Health care and public health

I believe in protecting access to reproductive health care, including the right to safe and legal abortion. We must trust individuals and their doctors to make these deeply personal choices and ensure that every person has access to the care they need, no matter where they live or how much they earn.

All entrepreneurs should be able to take care of their employees, grow their companies, and contribute to our local economy.
