Jacquie Lightcap completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Lightcap's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I support public schools. Public tax dollars should fund public schools. Period.
Special education should be fully funded. In order to meet the needs of the growing population of students receiving special education services, schools must move money from their general fund to do so. This impacts their ability to hire staff and equitably provide for the entire student population.
School districts are uniquely suited to make decisions that impact their students without legislative overreach. - I supports a strong Kansas economy that positively impacts all Kansans We should continue to build on the momentum of the last few years by enacting equitable tax policy; everyone benefits when needs are met. As a native Kansan, I will advocate for policies that attract businesses and their employees to the Sunflower State. Despite their best efforts, many hard-working families still struggle to make ends meet; I believe we can find solutions that actually make a difference in people’s everyday lives.
- I support the freedom of every Kansan to access quality healthcare Healthcare is a basic human right, as well as a sign of economic health, and I will fight to ensure it’s accessible to all. The time is now to have an honest discussion about Medicaid expansion in our state. It is shameful that Kansas is turning away millions of federal dollars to provide medicare care to those in need. Mental health is just as important as physical health and I will support policies that ensure every Kansan has access to quality, credentialed providers.
