In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“Together we can protect working families, strengthen rural communities, and build an affordable and thriving economy for all Kansans.”
“Politics shouldn't be something done to people. Representative government starts with showing up, listening, and earning trust.”
“I'm fighting for Kansas, not for big corporations or special interests. If anyone in Washington wants to push policies that hurt our farmers, our hospitals, our workers, or our towns, they'll have to go through me first.”
“And learn what people there think about their hometown boy and what he's doing for our rural communities.”
“I can't wait to learn about Quinter.”
“And we can afford it. You know how we can afford it? Tax the rich. Period.”

“All these issues — healthcare, housing — they need to be addressed aggressively.”
“We have really, arguably, the weakest Congress probably ever.”
“Congress has let this presidential administration take control of tariffs.”
“This is a perfect example of where Congress has abdicated their power. The House of Representatives has the power of investigation and holding ICE to account.”
“ICE is wildly veering all over everybody in this country, rather than staying in its lane.”
“It was about my commitment and faith in federal government, and watching what they did to break it.”
“It wasn't about me losing my job.”
