Ballotpedia biographical submission form

The candidate completed Ballotpedia's biographical information submission form:

“ What is your political philosophy?

My goal is to invigorate younger people to get involved with politics and show them that the GOP is a place for young voters. I want to increase transparency throughout the state government. I want to take a hard look at the Sam Brownback tax cuts and make them more equitable for the taxpayer without sacrificing funding major government operations like education.

Is there anything you would like to add?

I am 16 years old. This many sound a little odd, but legally I am allowed to run for state office at this age in kansas. For those who think that this is such a silly idea for a teenager to even entertain the idea of running for political office, I have just one question. What have the adults, the incumbents who have been in the legislature or in the governors mansion accomplished that is at the top of your priority list? Most likely not much, all I would ask of my voters is to keep an open mind. Also my Twitter is @josephtuterajr if you would like to see my more opinions[2]

”
