2016
Van Meteren's campaign website highlighted the following issues:
| “ |
I’m running for the Kansas Senate because I believe the 3rd District needs to be represented by someone who will listen carefully to the people of Douglas and Leavenworth Counties and reflect their wishes and values in Topeka. I’m also running because I have a demonstrated ability to work well with others, even people with whom I don’t always agree. And I’m running because I believe passionately in the potential of the friends and neighbors in this area that I’ve spent a lifetime getting to know.[5] |
