Same, and I am ashamed of Simone Biles.
An elite athlete, a powerhouse of a campaigner, a fierce defender of women and girls. I stand with Riley Gaines.

I’m deeply concerned that DHS has identified Lawrence and Douglas County as sanctuary jurisdictions defying federal immigration law. In 2022, we enacted legislation banning sanctuary cities and counties to ensure compliance with federal law. #ksleg dhs.gov/sanctuary-jurisdicti…

As Riley Gaines pointed out, this is not something that happened in Afghanistan. This happened in Maine. Support this strong supporter of Fairness in Women’s Sports and shame on the Maine Democratic Majority.
Replying to @laurel_libby
The Maine Democrat Majority has just moved to censure me, for speaking out against their failure to protect Maine girls and keep biological males out of girls' sports. Let me be clear: I will not be silenced and I will not allow the voices of Maine girls to be silenced.

Did you know that the Kansas has its own committee to uncover fraud? Kansas Committee on Government Efficiency has an email so you can report fraud. Let them know. kansascoge@senate.ks.gov kslegislature.gov/li/kansasc…

Congratulations to ALEC members and latest policy champions, Kansas Senator @rkerickson and Representative @BarbWasinger for limiting agency rulemaking authority and restoring the balance of government in the Sunflower State! #Kansas #Policy #Leaderhsip alec.org/article/alec-policy…

All voices in #KS03? How do you do that when you won’t even show up to an in-district candidate forum even after they promise you won’t have to answer constituent questions or be on stage with your opponent? During this election cycle you’ve only shown up at the DemHQ and at Dem events How do you claim to represent everyone when you refuse to listen to anyone outside of your party?
I'm running for Congress to represent all voices in #KS03, regardless of political party.

SB 1 has officially passed both chambers and is heading to the Governor soon. This plan brings much-needed property, income, and Social Security tax relief to Kansans. #ksleg

Kansans should already have tax relief. The Legislature has repeatedly sent bipartisan tax bills to the Governor. Each time more watered down (less money back to, you, the taxpayer). I have not loved every part of every bill, yet I have voted each time to reduce the tax burden on Kansans, and in turn the Governor has systematically vetoed them all; constantly moving the goalposts she has set and ignoring her campaign promise to meet the Legislature in the middle of the road. As I prepare for the upcoming Special Session I would be remiss if I didn’t address the fact that Special Session or Emergency Session is outlined by the Kansas Constitution in Article 1, Section 5, “the governor may, on extraordinary occasions, call the legislature into special session by proclamation; and shall call the legislature into special session, upon petition by at least two-thirds of the members elected to each house.” However, the Governor vetoing 7 tax bills does not really seem to the average Kansan as an “extraordinary occasion.” In fact, Kansans, regardless of party, seem to view the Governor vetoing bills as anything but extraordinary. It is really what we’ve come to terms with being standard operating procedure from a person who has vetoed a total of 74 tax bills over her tenure as Governor. If tax relief is to be treated as an emergency equaling that of an extraordinary occasion, the full blame of this wildfire which desperately needs to be put out, at the additional cost to taxpayers of $84,000 per day, was set by the very person who is calling it an emergency. I will go back into special session prepared to give Kansans as much of their hard earned money back as I possibly can. However, I do not appreciate the Governor wasting taxpayer dollars to quell a manufactured crisis of her own creation.

Medicaid expansion will not save rural hospitals-it only offers false hope. Increasing astonishingly low hospital Medicaid reimbursements, like the Republican-led legislature did in the state budget this year, offers the real help that hospitals need. #ksleg

Advocates for Medicaid expansion continue to push the talking point that it will save hospitals from closing. Reality tells a different story—and it's another reason why #kansas should NOT expand Medicaid! #ksleg
