Campaign themes

2018

LaPolice’s campaign website stated the following:

“	The Economy It is essential we develop an economy in which one who works full time is able to afford to take care of his or her family. A living wage must be available. All of us should share in the riches of this land and we each need to be expected to give back based on ability. Foreign Policy The United States must become a true proponent of democracies. We must end these wars of occupation and treat all peoples with dignity and respect, regardless. As a veteran of the First Gulf War, I have seen first hand the destruction wars cause. War should be a last resort. Healthcare We are ALL entitled to access to great healthcare. Our veterans deserve to have the promise of the world's greatest healthcare, including care for mental health, honored. Education Public Education has always been the single greatest investment this country could make and that investment should only be expanded. Our children will be entrusted with the future, we cannot withhold necessary resources any longer. Social Security and Medicare Social Security and Medicare are NOT entitlements. They are investments the people of this country have made that they deserve to have returned to them. Any politician who seeks to take them away must be defeated. It is our responsibility to maintain these social safety nets and look after the most vulnerable - it's part of what makes our country great. Corruption in Politics It is every American's duty not to tolerate greed and corruption in our politics. An Oath to the Constitution is an oath to the people of this nation - all of them. I promise clarity in my campaign and in my service to you if I am elected.	”
—Alan LaPolice’s campaign website (2018)

2016

LaPolice’s campaign website stated the following:

“	Trade: US farmers and ranchers are so productive that we must export at least a quarter of our production. Ours is the only nation in the world that can guarantee stable ag exports every year and we must maintain this advantage. We are currently working with trading partners in the Pacific and the Atlantic communities. These trade agreements are vital to Kansas Agriculture - beef pork, dairy, wheat, feed grains and oilseeds. Open markets are the key so we must negotiate to mutually bring down tariffs and remove impediments to free trade. Water: The most vital resource for Kansas agriculture in the future is our water supply. It is very difficult for ag to compete for water in an open market because consumers are well fed at less than 10% of their income. Therefore water policy must be designed to continue adequate water allocations to the states # 1 industry. Ag must be at the table as policy vehicles are developed. Kansas ag isn’t and I will change this on day one. Safety Net: In 2012 we had a 60 year drought. Yet net farm income was the second highest on record. Why? Crop Revenue Insurance. We must be vigilant to keep that program intact and ensure from year to year that American farmers can guarantee a stable and affordable domestic food supply. Recently, Crop Insurance has been used as a political football. No more. Domestic Food Production is a National Security issue! Immigration: Agriculture needs a reliable legal work force. A guest worker program designed to fit agriculture production cycles is the solution. I am fully opposed to amnesty. I am fully supportive of supplying Kansas Ag producers with reliable labor resources as needed. Congress has for too long neglected every aspect of immigration and this needs to stop. Like it or not, immigration is a key component to current ag production and it is vital to Kansas farming. Environmental regulations: Clear water and clean air are in the farmer's best interest but these regulations must be reasonable and they must be an asset to ag not a hindrance. Ag interests must be at the table when standards are established and regulators must not be given a blank check to interfere with production. This is where we NEED a responsible voice in Washington. We need someone who will command respect and get results, someone who genuinely understands the issues and doesn’t just argue. Honest debate is needed and policies must favor the farmer.	”
