Campaign websiteNeumann's campaign website stated the following:THE ISSUESKansas ValuesEconomic PolicySustainable economic policies for the many, not the few.Kansans believe in hard work and honest numbers. It’s time we prioritize an economy that gives working families, farmers and small businesses a fair chance to succeed.Unpredictable economic policies have created uncertainty for families, farmers, and employers. Recent bills have significantly increased the national debt, and failed to deliver lasting gains for the middle class—making it harder to plan, invest, and get ahead.Kansas needs steady, responsible economic leadership that is transparent, fiscally sound, and focused on long-term growth rather than short-term political wins.Sandy will work across party lines to restore accurate and transparent economic reporting, support policies that expand employment opportunities, and promote sustainable economic growth that strengthens the middle class, supports farmers and small businesses, and benefits the entire country.AgricultureRestore profitable family farms by ensuring fair trade, food aid programs, and lower costsKansas farmers and ranchers believe in hard work, fair competition, and policies that let them succeed on their own terms. The GOP have made farming harder than ever.Unpredictable trade policies are raising equipment costs and limiting access to global markets for Kansas crops and livestock. At the same time, cuts to food aid programs have reduced demand for Kansas-grown agricultural products, putting strain on rural communities and economies.Kansas agriculture needs stable, practical policies that expand markets, lower costs, and strengthen demand for the products our farmers and ranchers work hard to produce. Sandy will work with anyone—Republican or Democrat—to get it done. Restore trade – Stable trade policies and open agricultural marketsFood aid programs – Reinstate programs that drive demand for Kansas productsRight to repair – Let farmers fix their own equipment and control costsLower input costs – Reduce tariff pressure on equipment and suppliesHealthcareDeliver quality, affordable healthcare for allKansans value access to affordable healthcare for individuals and families. Recent policy changes are making healthcare less affordable and less accessible across Kansas. Reduced Medicaid reimbursements are putting rural hospitals at risk, and the loss of health insurance subsidies could price working and middle-class families out of coverage.Kansas needs practical healthcare solutions that keep rural hospitals open, make insurance affordable, and help families manage rising healthcare and prescription drug costs. Eligible low-income individuals, families, children, pregnant women, elderly adults, and people with disabilities should continue to have access to services through Medicaid.Sandy will work across party lines to strengthen Medicaid funding, extend health insurance subsidies, protect personal medical decisions from government interference, and push for fairer prescription drug prices—so Kansans can get the care they need without sacrificing groceries, rent, or their mortgage.VeteransWork across party lines in support of veteransHonoring veterans means keeping our promises to those who served. Kansas is committed to supporting their health, dignity, and economic stability when they return home.Too many veterans face barriers to healthcare, mental health services, and stable employment—especially those coping with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and the risk of suicide. These challenges are often even greater for veterans living in rural areas.Supporting veterans should never be a partisan issue. We need practical, effective policies that ensure access to quality care, strengthen mental health support, and help veterans successfully transition into civilian life.Sandy will work across party lines to expand access to comprehensive healthcare and mental health services in both urban and rural communities, invest in workforce training and job placement, support veteran-owned small businesses, and strengthen housing assistance and transition programs so every veteran has a fair shot at stability and success after service.EducationRestore prioritizing our students, families and teachersChildren are our most precious resource, and strong schools are essential to our state’s and nation’s future. Schools are stretched thin, and families grow even more concerned about safety in the classroom.When education loses priority at the federal level, our communities lose. Education should remain a national priority while respecting local decision-making, ensuring special education is fully supported, and focusing on practical steps to keep schools safe. We need to continue to support teachers serving students with disabilities and complex needs.Sandy will work across party lines to keep the Department of Education as a cabinet-level agency. She will help focus resources to restore funding for special education to support children with disabilities and autism spectrum disorder, and advance practical, common-sense school safety measures that protect students and educators.Restoring EthicsReturn to Washington DC being accountable to the people, not themselves and billionairesPublic servants should be accountable to the people who elected them — not to wealthy special interests or their own financial gain.Americans across the political spectrum have lost trust in Washington, and for good reason. Politicians in both parties profit from lobbyist influence and trade on non-public information gained through hearings and committees. Career politicians hold power for decades, major economic decisions bypass Congress, and ordinary citizens feel their voices no longer matter. This isn’t a left or right problem — it’s a Washington problem.Ban members of Congress from trading individual stocksEnact term limits and age limits across all three branchesEstablish clear parameters for Presidential pardons that apply regardless of partyRestore limits on money in politics so candidates answer to voters, not mega-donorsRebalance the Supreme Court and strengthen its legitimacyReturn tariff and major economic policymaking authority to CongressSandy will work across the aisle to champion common-sense accountability reforms: banning congressional stock trading, establishing term and age limits, setting clear standards for Presidential pardons, reducing big money in elections, restoring balance in the Supreme Court, and returning economic policymaking to Congress so decisions reflect Americans from every community.— Sandy Spidel Neumann's campaign website (July 29, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.
