“I serve on the Appropriations, Commerce, K-12 Education (chair), and Legislative Post Audit Committees. I'm passionate about education, tax policy, and commerce. Kansas is a better place with more transparency and accountability in all areas of government -- from our schools and economic incentive programs to equitable tax policy that encourages economic growth and prosperity. Policies in all of these areas are important not only to me, but to the well-being of our State.” (Ballotpedia)
“I look up to my Mother and those who have remained committed to their faith and values.” (Ballotpedia)
“Thomas Sowell is one of my favorite economists who shares his thoughts based on statistical evidence. His rational, balanced, and thoughtful reviews are very much in line with how I try to look at controversial issues. I also loved reading Doris Kearns Goodwin's Team of Rivals about the struggles of President Lincoln and his commitment to end slavery and bring a nation together. In addition, I am also an avid reader of the Bible which directs my mind and heart towards service to others.” (Ballotpedia)
