In their own words
Who are you? Tell us about yourself.
I am a hardworking Kansan who grew up in Great Bend, KS. I work at Sunflower Diversified Services as a Direct Service Professional, I own my own music business with the focus of expanding music production to underrepresented communities/ideas, and I'm going to Barton County Community College to get my CNA and attending online for an associates in business administration. My experience in politics started when I was still in high school and participated in debate. I have discussed a wide variety of issues in that activity. I have also attended multiple rallies while advocating for better lives for my fellow Kansans. I want to lower property taxes, increase access to healthcare, and look into corrupt actors in politics because for me it's not about republican or democrat, it's about making Kansas a better place for us, our parents, grandparents, and future generations. Together, regardless of party lines, we can make Kansas a great place for all.
Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?
I want to add recreational vehicles such as golf carts back to the property tax list. This will make the people who can afford more property taxes pay them while the working people can have some property taxes taken off their backs.I want to increase funding to healthcare and increase everyone's access to it. We should not live in times where a trip to the ER makes Kansans go bankrupt so let's work on it and find something better.I want to expose any corruption I find in the legislature. To achieve this I will make the promise that if I see something suspicious that the people in Kansas will be the first people to know.
