Campaign themes

2016

Banwart's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]

Balancing the state budget

  • Excerpt: "I will work tirelessly to make sure our budget is balanced and our tax dollars are spent cost-effectively to fund essential government functions, like our schools and our roads. Fiscally responsibility is a must."

Restoring the job base

  • Excerpt: "It's time we create an economic environment that supports local business and drives job growth so that our children and grandchildren can raise their own families here in Butler and Sedgwick Counties."

Protecting funding for our schools

  • Excerpt: "Our schools are the foundation of our community – and the foundation of our children’s future. They should be a top priority. That means preserving local control and providing adequate state funding for our K-12 schools, our technical colleges and our universities – so that our next generation has the education and training they need to succeed in the workforce."

Reducing the reliance on property taxes

  • Excerpt: "Continued attempts in Topeka to shift costs onto the local level will only drive up our property taxes, discourage homeownership, and create new cost barriers for small business owners."

2014

Banwart's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[2]

  • BUSINESS GROWTH
"Attracting good-paying jobs should be our district’s top priority. It is essential that we create an economic environment that supports families and provides the jobs that allow our children and grandchildren to raise the next generation."
  • EDUCATION
"The ability to create and attract jobs begins with an educated workforce. A quality education is the foundation of our economic growth. We must support our children’s educational needs, but forcing the burden of costs on local property tax payers cannot be the only answer."
  • FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
"Efficient, responsible government spending will keep our taxes low. Just as Kansas families work to invest responsibly in their future, Topeka should also be fiscally responsible and efficient, and invest state resources in a way that meets our core needs today and sustains future generations."
