The people in the 102nd district deserve a choice this November. President Trump inspired me to get involved as I saw a man who was not part of the political "elite" take on the system and the career politicians to fight for America. I saw him lower taxes, cut regulations, and create an historic economic boom. I will take that same energy to fight for the people of Kansas to help lower taxes, reduce burdensome government rules and regulations, and increase personal freedoms.
Taxes are too high. State and local governments spend about 53 cents for every dollar people bring home in my district. This does not even include the Federal government. Both partners need to work in today's economy just to pay the government and it needs to stop.

Government grows bigger every year, and every year it takes more freedoms. We need drastic cuts in our state and local governments.

We must protect free speech from the government and the tech monopolies. The only speech worth protecting is the speech we don't like.

We must protect out right to keep and bear arms. our second amendment is what makes the rest of our freedoms possible.

Kansas courts are some of the most overturned courts in the nation. We must work to eliminate the power of lawyers (even most honorable ones) to legislate from the bench and return the power to the people through their elected representatives.

We must end policing for profit. over 50% of police encounters end up with you either paying the state and the courts money or being locked in a cage. Police must have the freedom to be a positive force in our community instead of ways for the city to generate more money.

The right to life must be protected.
Right to Remain Innocent by James Duane
