Jenkins' campaign website highlighted the following issues:
| “ |
Prioritize Funding K-12, Public Safety & Transportation. We need to prioritize to ensure funding for vital services. Our budget should be refocused to delivering quality core services efficiently and effectively. Spending without strict accountability and oversight must stop. Responsible Governance Stop the Debt. Keep Taxes in Check. We should plan long term and stop using debt to cover bad management and bad spending habits. Debt service costs millions of dollars, threatening higher taxes on property, income, and sales. We can do better. Strong Higher Ed & Tech Ed Better Jobs for Kansas Families. An educated and skilled workforce is critical to recruit new jobs and industries. We must focus on graduating students for in demand fields like engineering, tech, accounting and skilled trades to keep our economy growing. Pro-Life. Pro-Family. Pro-2nd Amendment. A Commonsense Focus.[5] |
