CONSERVATIVE LEADERSHIP

Welcome to my website! I hope you’ll take some time to look around, reach out with any questions you might have, and get involved. Together, we can take conservative leadership back to Topeka.

Conservative first

Unchecked government expansion limits our freedom as individuals and hinders the growth of the businesses our state’s economy relies on to thrive. Kansans from all walks of life are impacted in very real ways and I am dedicated to standing up for people just like you. During my time in office, I have worked to limit bureaucratic intervention in our day-to-day lives and make government more efficient. I believe in the importance of defending life, strengthening the family, and protecting our most cherished rights. I will continue fighting for you in Topeka.

Join the effort!

Campaigns take work. So does governing. Our state needs leadership that understands our communities and puts Kansas first. As Majority Leader, I worked to achieve many things for Kansans and voters showed their support for our efforts by sending another Republican supermajority back to the Kansas House. But the work goes on. As Speaker of the House, I need your help to share our current successes and future goals with our neighbors. Together, we can ensure that Kansas continues to be a great place to live, work, and raise a family!

Governor Kelly's Special Session of Spite- She's Laser- Focused on Wasting Your Money and Denying You Bi-Partisan Tax Relief"This could have been avoided but sadly, here we are again. It’s disappointing to see Governor Kelly turn her back on a fourth attempt at compromise and veto yet another sustainable, bipartisan tax relief package, this time with a reduced fiscal note of only $3 million over her agreed number. Her games, unfortunately, come at the expense of Kansas taxpayers with an $84,000-a-day special session and further delay of much-needed tax relief, despite the state’s ample surplus and positive financial outlook. The legislature has worked together in a bipartisan manner and jumped through multiple hoops in hopes of hitting her ever-moving targets and our focus remains solidly on returning excess taxpayer dollars to Kansans regardless of the unreasonable challenges posed by the Governor. It seems her laser-focus has shifted solely to wasting your money on a needless and spiteful special session.” #ksleg

Legislative Republicans once again fully fund K-12 Education plus make a historic investment in special education!A strong education is key to building our future Kansas workforce. The K-12 Education Budget bill that was signed into law today, adds over $300 million in new funding, including over $75 million in new special education funding. It also ensures that all special education dollars are used toward educating sped students. The work done to bring this bill to fruition truly highlights the legislature’s continued commitment to fully funding Kansas schools, an integral part of our Kansas communities.#ksleg

Compromise from the legislature on the income tax portion of tax relief:✔ The Governor wanted 3 income tiers and the majority of the legislature preferred a single rate. We met halfway at 2. ✔We adjusted the income tax rates to appease her concerns. ✔We deleted the cost-of-living adjustments for the standard and personal exemptions.✔ We modified the tax package to give more relief to the lower-income brackets. Does Laura Kelly want "compromise" or "her way or the highway"?pro.stateaffairs.com/ks/taxes/kelly-tax-cut-veto-compromise-2024
