Campaign websiteHawkins' campaign website stated the following:Standing with President TrumpDan has been a strong supporter of President Trump and will serve as a vocal ally for his agenda. He supports President Trump’s America first agenda and will prioritize policies that drain the swamp and put Kansans first.Lower the cost of insurance by increasing optionsDuring Dan’s time working in employee benefits, it became clear that one of the reasons Kansans pay so much for insurance is the lack of options. As Insurance Commissioner, Dan will eliminate red tape and excessive regulations that keep potential options out of Kansas, allowing Kansans to keep more of their hard-earned dollars.Ensure the Kansas Department of Insurance works for your benefitDan has spent 30 years helping people navigate the insurance industry. He will do the same as Insurance Commissioner. Dan is committed to making the Kansas Department of Insurance the most taxpayer friendly state agency.Protecting Kansans from fraudDuring his time in the legislature Dan gained a reputation for law and order. As Insurance Commissioner, he will use the authority of the office to protect Kansans from insurance and securities fraud. Fraud not only victimizes individual Kansans, but it also drives up rates for everyone.— Daniel Hawkins' campaign website (July 15, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.
