Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2020
Issues: Government Operations

SHOULD LOCAL COMMUNITIES HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONTROL THEIR OWN POLICY REGARDING TAXES, GUNS, ETC.? YES
To the greatest extent possible, there should be local control of government. Kansas citizens should be able to direct their local representatives to address the education, social, health and other issues that those citizens are willing to authorize and fund. Local municipalities should be able to deal with local issues without being hampered by legislation enacted at the state level on behalf of tax avoiding, politically motivated, or power-seeking special interest groups.

I have and will continue to vote for legislation that allows as much local control as is constitutional to our local units of government. I have and will support legislation that provides as many resources as possible to assist our local units of government carry out their duties on behalf of the people in the 21st District.
