| Collapse all
I earned Master's degrees from the University of Kansas in Curriculum and Instruction as well as Education, Leadership and Policy Studies. I was elected to the Shawnee City Council in 2017. My priorities have included smart, future-focused development, advocating for energy efficiency and renewable energy, and promoting community health through enhancements in walkability and support for parks. I am also the co-founder of Climate Action KC, whose mission is to create a more climate resilient region.
I am married and have two young children who, together with the students I've taught over the years, serve as my key motivators to make a difference as a local leader.- Experience: An award-winning Shawnee Mission teacher, city councilmember, and president of a non-profit dedicated to regional resilience, Lindsey knows what it takes to get results for Kansas families.
- Leadership: Lindsey is a common-sense coalition builder with a consistent history of crafting policies that benefit our economy and community - earning her the respect of leaders across our region.
- Courage: Lindsey will advocate for practical solutions to benefit all Kansans and will stand up to extremist legislators and special interest groups in Topeka.
Education funding is another key priority of mine. Only recently have our K-12 schools been given a path toward becoming adequately funded, and as we're recovering from the economic consequences of COVID, I do not want our state to move backwards in our commitment to funding schools. Kansas kids, families, and businesses deserve better, and as state Senator I will make education funding a priority.
