Priority Issues:

Brett Parker is running to ensure that interests of Kansans are being represented in Topeka. Whether it's transparent government or investing in education and infrastructure, Brett Parker is ready to roll up his sleeves and get to work.

Changes to Kansas tax policy, the depletion of reserve funds, and the misuse of transportation money have created an unstable business environment and have branded Kansas as a less appealing place for business to locate.

Overland Park needs representatives who work transparently on behalf of its citizens rather than continuing Governor Brownback's failed policies.

Local governments must not be limited in making the best decisions for their constituents.

Kansas must adequately invest in education and infrastructure to maintain and increase quality of life for its citizens.
