Campaign themes
England's campaign website highlighted the following issues:
| “ |
Responsible Taxes & Spending Megan will work to overturn the 2012 income tax cuts, restore funding to infrastructure, and lower sales taxes especially on food (one of the highest tax on food in the nation), which hurt our local Johnson County economy and our most vulnerable neighbors. Vibrant Public Schools Megan will work for long-term funding for our students and teachers, and not claim victory in short-term solutions that fail to move our schools or community forward. Megan will work to reduce class sizes, reduce college tuition and support vocational programs. Respect For Your Local Vote Megan opposes the heavy, dysfunctional hand of State government to infringe upon Home Rule. Stripping authority from local law makers is a “big government” burden that is not good policy. Megan will work to overturn recent restrictions on local property taxes, safety and code enforcement and local elections. Medicaid Expansion We should accept the return of our own money (over $1B to date) back into our local economies which will benefit everyone by creating new jobs, saving taxpayer dollars currently spent on treating the uninsured in emergency rooms, and allowing all hard-working Kansans the security of quality health care coverage. A Fair and Independent Judiciary Megan believes in a fair, open and impartial judiciary, one that serves as a co-equal branch of government with the executive and legislative branches. She supports merit-selection of judges and justices, and does not believe that partisan politics have any place in our courtrooms. Megan appreciates that the courts, for a lack of legislative leadership, have worked to preserve constitutional funding for our Johnson County schools.[5] |
