Kansas kids are charged numerous fines and fees during their interactions with the criminal justice system–from their first interaction with police to their final probation or parole meeting. These costs do not assist with rehabilitation, prolong engagement with the criminal justice system, and can carry lifelong consequences for juveniles. In 2024, a Kansas Senate committee considered SB 416, which would have eliminated these fines and fees. If elected, will you vote YES on legislation like SB 416 to eliminate fines and fees in the juvenile justice system?
Yes
No Response
The rights of transgender Kansans have come under attack from the Legislature for several years in a row. SB 233, which was defeated in 2024, is among the discriminatory bills that would have prohibited transgender youth across Kansas from accessing needed healthcare, impinge on medical privacy, and deprive parents of the right to make decisions about their children’s healthcare. If elected, will you vote NO on bills that would discriminate against transgender Kansans or limit access to gender-affirming care?
Yes

In 2024, the Kansas Legislature waged new attacks on racial equality. The Legislature adopted HB 2105, a bill that prohibits the state's higher education institutions from implementing diversity, equity, and inclusion programming. The bill significantly undermines the ability of colleges to prevent, correct, and penalize racial discrimination and racial harassment.  If elected, will you vote NO on any bill that undermines efforts to address racial discrimination and racial harassment?

In 2024, HB 2156 was introduced in the Kansas Legislature. The bill would have allowed public utilities—like the Board of Public Utilities (BPU)—to establish rates that benefit low-income residential customers. The bill did not receive a hearing or further action. High utility rates and the policy choices made by public utilities can be significant barriers to economic justice. If elected, will you SUPPORT legislation to promote economic justice, including through more regulation of the rates and policies of utility companies like BPU?
