| Collapse all
- Born and raised in Kansas. Ryan is proud to call Kansas his lifelong home. At age 36, Ryan is an abuse survivor. The rough start in life didn't stop Ryan from creating a successful business and career. Ryan knows all too well how hard it is in life when you're struggling, and how it feels when you've been overlooked. That's what Ryan will bring to Congress: empathy, common sense solutions, and a fight that will never quit working for Kansans. This is more than just your typical campaign. In the 250th year of this great nation, we need moral strength, responsibility, and results from our elected officials more than ever. Ryan is the candidate who will fight for all of us!
- Ryan will fight for accountability, and especially from our leaders. Impeaching bad actors in our federal government for treason and other high crimes and misdemeanors is paramount. We all know right from wrong, and consequences for breaking the law should apply equally to everyone. This isn't a political issue this is a moral one.
- It is critical for Americans to survive that we have a living wage, lower rent, and cheaper groceries. We must have wages that reflect the cost of living, and not the amounts that big corporate employers want to pay their employees. This starts with a federal minimum wage that is at least $17 an hour. It is critical we put a rent freeze in place for large corporate landlords to stop the spiraling rent increases. We also need to lower grocery prices by empowering farmers in Kansas, especially our family and small farms. The more product they can get on the market, the lower the costs for everyone.
