In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“Since he was first elected in 2017, Ron Estes has failed to hold in-person town halls that don't require payment to participate – it's time we have a leader who shows up to lower costs for families in our community.”
“Kansas farmers are being sold out – Katy has heard it directly from her friends and neighbors who make rural Kansas great. The reason isn't a mystery. Reckless tariff policies have handed our markets to foreign competitors, devalued Kansas agricultural products, and cut off the buyers our farmers have relied on for generations, while the War with Iran has jacked up fertilizer and diesel costs at the worst possible time.”
“Climate change is real, it is here, and Congress should treat it with the urgency it deserves”
“I am ready to step up and be an independent voice for Kansans. I think that toxic partisanship is part of what's gotten us into this mess, and so I'm asking people to judge me not by the R or the D by my name but by my values, and character, and integrity and ideas and experience.”
“I think people are just tired and are ready for something, and I'm going to be that person that shows up, listens and delivers.”
“Honestly, I think people are ready for a change. I think that we are tired of a representative who doesn't show up for his people but represents very much corporate interests.”
