My family has been in involved in our North Topeka and Seaman community for five generations. I am committed to representing all of Northern Shawnee County with traditional values and Christian beliefs.
  • Control government spending and regulations so we pay less taxes and everyone has a chance to thrive.
  • Create successful schools where teachers can make sure every child has an opportunity to succeed.
  • Protect our freedoms by defending our constitution, supporting law and order, and stopping illegal immigration.
Helping Kansas families succeed.
I have had many people I look up to. I think it would be my dad for teaching us that hard work will be rewarded in life. He always told us that if you are good enough at something, you don't need to tell everyone, they will know.
Many of the Mark Levin books are eye opening on how badly our government is operated.
Honesty and Integrity
Honesty and integrity. My willingness to talk about any issue with anyone who wants to have a rational conversation.
The commitment to vote the way your constituents want you to vote.
That I was a great husband and father to our children. I want to be in husband and dad Hall of Fame someday
I remember watching Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldren walking on the moon when I was 9 years old.
My first job was putting up hay bales in my grandpa's barn. I only quit hauling hay a few years ago when we finally bought a round baler.
The Bible. It tells us the story of Jesus and how we can be saved through him for eternal life.
The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel.
Balancing work with family.
The governor should be the CEO of our state and run the processes of government. The legislature, with input from their constituents, should form the laws that our state and the governor operates under.
We must make sure that tax liability on all Kansans is fair, especially our elderly citizens so they can remain in their homes after retirement.

We must lower inflation and get the cost of everyday goods under control.
We must make sure that our teachers have the resources needed to give every child the chance to be the best they can be. We also must reduce government regulations on schools so the teachers can teach and not be overwhelmed with bureaucracy.

We must look at our water resources and make sure we have a viable plan for our future.
NO, I think the best legislators are the ones with actual business experience. A lot of government employees and life-long politicians seem to think that our tax money is free money that they can spend on their pet projects. Tax money comes from hard-working
Kansans and should only be spent to support the necessary functions of government.
It is extremely important to build relationships with the people you work with, especially other legislators. The House is made up of an amazing group of people that truly represent Kansas’ population. You need to know other legislators to understand where they come from and what the Kansans they represent are concerned with.
While they are not legislators, I consider Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan superheroes. I hope to have the same resolve they did to stand up for what is right for everyone.
No, I am not looking at this position as a launching pad for future offices. Being a representative is a very important responsibility and my only concern is making sure all of the great folks in Northern Shawnee County have a voice in the Kansas House.
I keep hearing over and over again about the high tax burden being faced by homeowners in our county. We must lower taxes, especially for elderly citizens who want to remain in their homes after retirement.
No, this is the responsibility of our governor. She will follow the laws and guidelines set up by the legislature.
I have already introduced and carried two common-sense bills on issues requested by my constituents. Unfortunately, there are too many legislators who only want to push their agenda and don’t seem to worry about how it affects others in their district or all Kansans. I do not have a personal agenda or pet project that I want to push through.
Kansas Farm Bureau, Kansans for Life, Kansas Chamber
I have been on the Federal and State Affairs, Education and K-12 Budget committees. I am satisfied with these three committees and the work we have done in the past. In the K-12 Budget committee, we fully funded K-12 education, including special education (SPED). We added an additional $73 million on top of the SPED budget to help cover excess costs school districts might incur. In February 2024, the Kansas Supreme Court agreed that the legislature fully funded education and released its jurisdiction over the Gannon cases.
This is a must for any government entity to be transparent and held accountable for their actions.
It is always good for the people of any state to have the option and process to bring laws or constitutional amendments up for a vote.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Kansas

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
