Reasons for running:
I am running for the 35th District State Representative in order to serve the constituents of this district. Over the past years I have learned about the operations of state government and that knowledge and experience I bring to the table. Being from the minority party I know the importance of that knowledge and it provides me with a legislative advantage that otherwise someone without experience…would not have.

What are the three most important issues facing the district and how would you handle them?
The first issue is the impact of the coronavirus. I will work for Medicaid Expansion so that members of the 35th District will have access to health insurance.
The second issue is public education. I have in the past and will continue to support quality public education and adequate funding.
The third issue is employment. I will continue to work with the small businesses in the 35th district and the businesses in Fairfax Industrial District to help prepare workers for employment. I will also work to help create new businesses.

If you are an incumbent, list your top accomplishments in office:
My voting record proves that I have always supported policies that enhance the 35th District. For example, I have always voted for increasing minimum wage, the reinstatement of prevailing wages, expansion of housing opportunities, providing more funding for public education, and policies that would help the businesses in the Fairfax Industrial District.
In the House of Representatives, I voted to expand Medicaid, However, it failed in the Kansas Senate.

Have you run for elected office previously? When? Results?
I ran for State Representative and won and have served in that capacity for the past 26 years.
