- "Fight Automation": Automation is changing the kind of jobs that we have and will have in the future. We have to be proactive and not reactive or we'll fail.
- "Kansas G.I. Bill of Rights": The fact that there are homeless veterans, is absolutely appalling. Real benefits, from decent housing to great health benefits, should be given.
- "Cut Taxes": Pretty plain and simple. Cut the Food Sales Tax. Those less well-off are getting robbed and it's time to end that.
Automation is changing a lot about the kinds of jobs we have. What that means is that our economy requires refocus on our new, current needs. Namely, we need to have a yearly review of in-need jobs, to help direct state sponsored scholarships for these fields. Have a work in state requirement, thereby ensuring that graduates stay here to improve this state. By doing this, we can reverse the many years long brain drain of training and teaching people here, only for them to go elsewhere for work.
He was born with asthma and other health issues, but he worked through them. Always fighting with his phrase "get action". That's the kind of boldness that we need. A true person of the people.
