Campaign websiteDuxler's campaign website stated the following:AffordabilityToo many Kansans are doing everything right and still struggling to get ahead. As a dad with two young kids, Ethan knows what that looks like firsthand: childcare bills, student loans, mortgage payments, groceries, car payments, and the constant pressure of rising costs.Ethan is running for governor to build a Kansas where hard work is rewarded, families can get a fair shake, and opportunity is not reserved for the lucky few. That means access to affordable healthcare, housing, and childcare. Tax relief for working families, not the ultra wealthy. A government that is finally focused on the real financial pressures families face rather than wasting time on political sideshows.Public EducationEthan is a proud product of Kansas public schools, from pre-K through graduation day at Garden City Community College. His oldest son is now a student in the same school district where Ethan grew up. He believes every child in Kansas, across all 105 counties, deserves a great public education. That means fully funding our public schools, including special education funding. Raising pay and providing better retirement plans for our teachers. And if any bill that takes public dollars and puts it in private schools comes across his desk, he will veto it.It also means investing in community colleges, technical colleges, and apprenticeships, because a strong future for Kansas depends on giving young people real paths to success, whether that means a four-year degree, skilled trades training, or workforce credentials that lead to good-paying jobs.Expanding Economic Opportunity to All KansansEconomic opportunity should be available in your community, in a big city or a small town. But too many Kansas families don’t feel like that’s accessible and are leaving our state for better jobs. Ethan wants to build a Kansas where people can build a career, raise a family, and stay for generations. His approach to economic development is rooted in one basic idea: growth should actually benefit Kansas workers and Kansas communities.That means creating good-paying jobs, investing in infrastructure, supporting small businesses, strengthening workforce training, and making sure rural communities are not left behind. With experience helping open markets for American producers at the Department of Commerce, Ethan knows how to attract jobs and investment, and he knows Kansas grows strongest when opportunity reaches every corner of the state. He also understands community development is economic development. That means strong schools, accessible healthcare, and vibrant neighborhoods.Public SafetyPublic safety starts with strong communities, trustworthy institutions, and leaders who take people’s concerns seriously. Kansans deserve to feel safe in their neighborhoods, their schools, and on the roads they drive every day.That means providing support to first responders. Investing in infrastructure that keeps rural roads safer. Standing up to the federal government and the presence of ICE in Kansas causing chaos in our state.HealthcareEvery Kansan should be able to access quality healthcare without going broke or driving hours just to see a doctor. Ethan has been traveling around the state listening to families, nurses, doctors, and hospital leaders who know the system is under strain, especially in rural Kansas.Ethan believes it is an economic and moral imperative we expand Medicaid. He will never give up the fight to make that a reality. As governor, he will fight to expand access, lower costs, keep rural hospitals open, and bring more providers to underserved communities. Healthcare is not just a policy issue to him. It is about whether Kansas families can get the care they need, when they need it, in the communities they call home.Transparency and Accountability in State GovernmentWorking families deserve a governor who works for them, not special interests or the federal government. Ethan is committed to strengthening ethics rules, reducing conflicts of interest, and curbing the influence of dark money in our state government. As a state senator, he led the charge to ban legislators from trading stocks during the legislative session and becoming lobbyists after leaving office. Ethan is proud to have the endorsement of End Citizens United, who recognize his dedication to bolstering transparency and accountability in Topeka.— Renee Duxler's campaign website (July 14, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.
