“It is simple for me. If you work 40 hours a week you ought to be able to feed your family and take them to the doctor when they're sick. And if you do that your whole life you ought to have something to show for it. Working people and organized labor are at the heart of why I am running. I have been a union member for more than 26 years, and I know what a difference it makes when workers have a real voice on the job.” (Ballotpedia)
“We've got to fund our schools, fix property tax, and help Kansas families get by. Compromise doesn’t have to mean compromising our values—or people.” (Campaign website)
“I will work towards building a strong local economy by raising the minimum wage. The minimum wage has not been raised since 2009. The cost of a hamburger in Missouri is the same as in Kansas, but they have $15 minimum wage. By raising the minimum wage, consumers will have more purchasing power to support local businesses.” (Campaign website)
