Issues: Taxes
In 2015, the largest sales tax increase in Kansas history passed the Legislature by ONE VOTE. This increase shifted the tax burden onto thousands of hard-working Kansans and retirees. I believe we need a tax system that is fair for all Kansans, a system that allows the state to provide the services we expect, while at the same time keeping taxes low for hard-working families.
I will also work to eliminate the sales tax on food. Kansas currently has the highest sales tax in the nation on food. This is unacceptable, a high sales tax disproportionately hurts working families and retirees.
