My name is Tracy Edingfield Dunn. I graduated from Wichita South High School in 1984, from the University of Kansas with Highest Distinction with a B.A. in Psychology in 1988, and from the University of Kansas School of Law in 1991. I practiced law for twenty years, mostly in Family Law, and have been married for 26 years to Adam Dunn. We have two adult sons who attended the Valley Center schools. I retired from law, in good standing, in 2011, and have written twelve books under my maiden name, Tracy Edingfield or my married name, Tracy Dunn.
Drawing from my extensive legal background, including tenure as a public defender, city prosecutor for Mt. Hope, litigator, judge, and mediator, I understand our judicial system. In addition to those accomplishments, I am a mom, wife, author, and Boy Scout leader. Each role has enriched my life and made me a better person.
I'm compassionate, intelligent, and funny. You can trust me to work toward improving your lives and leaving Kansas, a state with a rich legacy, in a better place.- I'm a problem solver who will create practical fixes, and I look to unite Kansans, not to further divide Kansans.
- Common sense and compassion will launch us into a brighter, more prosperous future.
- Cooperation is healthy and necessary to acknowledge every person's worth.
Protecting Reproductive Rights, Protecting Voting Rights, Protecting Civil Rights, and ensuring we treat all Kansans with dignity and respect, regardless whether we agree or not. Politics shouldn't be a game of one-up-manship because too often it fails to address the needs of the people. Politics should be a tool to serve the people and better their lives.
My husband, Adam Dunn, is even-keeled, highly respected, and well-liked. My grandparents were from a small town in Oklahoma and participated in civics, church, and other clubs. My father was involved in sports as a coach, mentor, umpire, and referee. He was wise and well-read and interested in Greek philosophy. My mother was involved in Girl Scouts and our school activities. She was kind to everyone she met, and her memory inspires me to be gracious to all.
John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist Church, once said he was bound by his faith, "To do all the good I can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can."
It's a relentless practice of showing steadfast loyalty and kindness, one that lifts up others.
It's a relentless practice of showing steadfast loyalty and kindness, one that lifts up others.
Integrity, dependability, and common sense are essential. Too often we see politicians breaking the law, and that's unacceptable. Our politicians should be examples and model citizens, not lawbreaks. We should be able to rely upon our politicians to tell us the truth. Lately, we have seen something worse than 'spinning the truth' or telling the truth from a diagonal angle. We have seen elected officials lying, misrepresenting facts, and misleading us. For us to have trust in the system, the cogs in that system must be trustworthy.
An excellent character reveals itself in times of crisis, but also in times of ease. Does that person work hard, avoid conflict, empower others, make others feel valued? If so, that person is a leader. We need to have elected officials who are leaders, and who lead us toward a better place, a more positive future.

If so, that person is a leader. We need to have elected officials who are leaders, and who lead us toward a better place, a more positive future.
I'm a natural leader. I believe all people are created equal, and I want everyone to achieve their full potential. I believe everyone has a spark of the divine within them, and should be treated as a brother or sister. I believe laughter is the music of angels, and that life is meant to be enjoyed. I don't like mean people, and I find it hard to tolerate intolerant people. I believe in the 1970's slogan, "God don't make no junk." There are no 'trash humans,' and no man is vermin. A person's worth doesn't depend on where he's from or who his/her ancestors are; a person's worth depends on nothing more than the person.
A representative should represent his/her constituency. Most people in my district want common sense solutions on a wide range of problems. We don't just need to keep our heads above water, but we need to launch ourselves upward and forward to become a shining, outstanding state in the union. Focusing on narrow issues which affect a handful of Kansans is thinking on a micro scale. We need to think bigger, be bigger, do better. And we need to conduct ourselves in such a way that we honor all those who have gone before us, and make our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren proud of us. Whatever we do, it should be done with grace and with honor.
That I was kind, helpful, and left the world a better place for having been here.
Television coverage of the Vietnam war. I was probably seven years old, watching soldiers in green clothes, smeared by blood, their faces covered in mud or tar, carrying wicked-looking weapons. The soldiers were stressed, scared, and looked as if they were being hunted.
I worked for Chick-fil-A in 9th grade, and I lasted throughout a school year. I stopped getting hours when I sang as I washed dishes. Who knew my voice was so terrible?
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen because she's so clever is disassembling characters into their essence. I think she was a brilliant psychoanalyst long before Freud showed up on the scene.
Elizabeth Bennet because she's sassy and a headstrong, obstinate girl!
Wichita Lineman by Glen Campbell
Getting my kids to laugh WITH me, and not AT me.
There should be mutual cordiality and respect between the branches. Rigid adherence to party affiliation erodes public trust and should be reluctantly, if ever, employed so that the public can be confident that wise solutions are being sought for its benefit, rather than some obscure legal 'win' in a foolish culture war.
Retaining healthy, talented people to remain in the state, creating job opportunities with technological and green energy advancements, easing or shouldering the increasing burden on farmers and ranchers to feed our nation, ensuring a well-informed citizenry, and instilling hope amongst our youth.
I believe it's beneficial for legislators to know how to legislature so that we don't waste taxpayer's money litigating the constitutionality of certain statutes in courts. Avoiding those pitfalls start with knowing how to write laws and thinking through the long-term consequences of those laws being enacted. Having a law degree certainly helps with those goals.
Absolutely! How can we bring Kansans together if we aren't willling to come together? I don't have to agree with someone to like them, and we've forgotten in our present politics that each person has good in them. No one is all good or all bad. Smarter solutions are created when a problem is viewed from all angles. Collaboration is essential to good governing. Cooperation is the key to being a good citizen, as well.
Nancy Kassebaum, Kathleen Sebelius, Diane Feinstein, David Eisenhower, Abraham Lincoln, and George Washington.
I don't know.
As a lawyer, I heard many painful stories about the unraveling of a marriage. They're heartbreaking, and ate at my soul, which is why, after twenty years, I had to get away from practicing law.
What time is it?
No, no,no! You tell ME what TIME it is!
Probably not, otherwise it's too cumbersome to respond in an emergency. However, emergency powers should be used rarely, sparingly, and to preserve life. The legislature should make adjustments to executive emergency orders with those same objectives in mind.
Gerrymandered districts should not exist. I'd like to see the state go to a rank voting system for statewide and federal elections and eliminate the Electoral College altogether so that we achieve a true 'One Person/One Vote' paradigm.
Judiciary, New Legislation, Civil Rights
With money, comes power. Without money comes exploitation. To ensure people are getting treated fairly, those in power must be financially transparent. More than this, however, they must show themselves to be honest dealers and careful stewards of other people's money.
Good. I think the people should direct the government in most instances, and wise leaders should direct the public in smaaller instances.
