I’m Sarah Preu, a tech worker and community organizer in Kansas’s third district. I was born in Leavenworth, KS, the only daughter out of five children to parents who both worked two jobs to make ends meet for most of my childhood. I went to the University of Minnesota on scholarship through their American Indian Scholars Program and Pell grants. I worked full time for a community loan program through my college career, igniting my lifelong interest in community support programs. I went on to work for social service programs throughout my 20s.

I have raised my family in KS-03, buying our first home in old KCK’s Westheight neighborhood. Eventually moving to Prairie Village then Overland Park and now to our home in Fairway. In that time, I started my own consulting business, ran a community aid organization, and won contracts with companies like Cerner and Siemens. I kept my love of community organizing and mutual aid and brought my children up to contribute to their community.

I am a lifelong Democrat and decided to challenge the well-funded party machine that pumps out centrists who don’t give us much in return for our votes.
  • Defund ICE and audit the DHS. Return funding of these agencies to pre-2020 levels.
  • End forever wars. Engage in the Middle East in a similar way as we do in Europe: diplomacy first. We cannot continue to pointlessly bomb countries half a world away to the tune of $1.5b a day.
  • Return the economy to working people, focusing on returning tax investment to our communities instead of fighting forever wars abroad and bankrolling a rogue immigration enforcement agency. Lift the social security cap, tax billionaires at 70% and show taxpayers their dollars can be returned to them in the form of fully funded universal healthcare and affordable housing.
Universal healthcare. Immigration reform. Taxing billionaires. Election reform to remove money from politics. Restoring the social safety net so young people inherit a country where home ownership and raising children without the benefit of generational wealth to bankroll it are within reach.
